Gavin,
thank you for the comment. Actualy i expected it to work properly but it
didn't :-)
I don't know how many versions of Raq2 exist. I only know of two and i
have the one
without SCSI and with 1 NIC. I sometimes get errors in the logs during
boot that something is looking for eth1, which doesn't exist. Maybe i
will give it another try ;-)
