 Now, when I try to boot it, the LCD display briefly says something I can't 
 see, followed by "loading kernel", followed by "Booting..." and furious 
 disk activity for about 2 minutes.  It never gets to "Starting mail", 
 "Starting DNS" or any of the other normal boot messages. I'm assuming 
 something got trashed when the power went down, but what do I do?  Do I 
 have to get a restore disk and reload the thing from scratch?
 
 Any help (either to the list or my private email address above) greatly 
 appreciated.
 
 Thanks! >>
nope you need to get in with a console via  a serial cable
raq2's go through chkdsk, but raq3, when it is a bit more complicated, they 
hang and ONLY a serial cable and  monitor/windows hyper terminal session will 
get you in, once you connected the serial cable it is a piece of cake..just 
follow the prompt
