You might want to keep the following post by Bruce T handy.  The bulk of it
covers restoring from the OS restore CD (which you may need to do) and the
last paragraph mentions connecting with a null modem cable.  If you connect
via null modem you may get output that's useful.

Probably so.  I forgot to mention that you could remove the drive from the
server, drop it in a Linux desktop and run some checks on it.  It's even
possible you could mount it in a desktop, grab the Apache RPMs from the
Cobalt FTP site and install them.  Though without access to the box to
troubleshoot I'm just speculating potential problems/fixes based on my
experience (been administering RaQs internally and for clients for 3 years).

Good luck.  Let us know how it turns.
