My laptop doesn't have a serial port :-(  I assumed I'd be able to telnet or
ssh into the Raq after the install.

When I power the Raq on, if I place my hard on the hard disk, I can't even
feel much activity, like it's not even trying to boot.

If I "Net boot" again, and mount the partitions, exit to a shell, I can see
everything, can ping other hosts etc...
