Luck, I guess, anyway, this is an interesting problem. Haven't dealt with a DEC product in a long time. They built great hardware, I don't care what anybody says... > > It's the Etch floppy installer image, dated 03/10/07.

Have you tried to give the installer a static net address? Sometimes older, slower hardware can give a problem with dhcp. Also, for grins, take a look at your /dev/ directory and see if anything's changing when you modprobe i82365. (just curious). And, lastly, where did you find this thing? I want one.
