Mark, Are your hard disks and CDROM IDE devices? If so, have you set up the master/slave jumpers correctly (since you have 3 devices you must have 2 sharing one channel/cable, would that be the CDROM and the second disk)?
Can you still boot from a diskette? Did you make a boot disk when you installed? Do you have any MCA SCSI devices/cards in your system (the error message you quote says they are not found so this may just be a red herring)? If your devices are SCSI, did you set the SCSI IDs correctly? > > Well, this is embarassing. I have this old IBM P133 that I run Debian > on. I'm a hobbyist, not a professional.
