OK, it looks like the ROM is good, it just can't boot from the drive...
That is a tricky situation, I think the improtant thing, is to check
the boot params in the ROM, but I think Duncan already talked to you
about that (set boot params) to boot from hda1.

The other thing is AFAIK the RaQ won't use lilo or grub.
One day soon I hope to get the time to play with debian annd slackware
on the RaQs.
