Hi Tobias, I tried your latest miboot.iso with my non-working media bay CDrom inserted and indeed it booted fine from de scsi cdrom this time, so there's progress :-). Now it hangs at the partitioner, so I still can't install, neither on the CF card or a regular ide-hd. The CF card gives errormessages like hda: lost interupt, and based on some googling I tried booting the miboot image with the extra ide=nodma argument, but no luck there either. I have only been successfull with a woody install trough the original MachKernel installer on a regular ide-hd so far, but they die on me anyway after a couple of weeks/months. So I'm still hoping to succeed one day, I can probably borrow another CF card, a working cdrom media bay and another model pb1400 to experiment with.
Are other people on this list successful with the miboot images and installing Sarge on a regular hd on the pb1400cs, with or without upgrade card?
