Got a new box via ebay. This one is black and has a 3,5" hdd. Other housing, same electronics. This directory hold all files I found on it. Notes: hda1 has no valid file system. I dumped it to a single file. hda3 has a very large *.mts file, (presumably a TV recording) which I excluded from hda3.tgz. After backing up, I started the box and recorded the minicom-startmessages.cap file. Because the boot stops waiting for DHCP, I've plugged in the internet ("link up"). Which continues until the TV displays says "loading broader app page" and tcpdump says "DNS lookup/NXDomain" repeatedly.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155061 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 2082 1049296+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 2083 4164 1049328 83 Linux /dev/hda3 4165 155061 76052088 83 Linux # mount /dev/hda1 hda1 VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,1).
