Ah, ok. I understand. My DoC is on the mainboard. I'm not even sure
if its socketed or soldered in, haven't checked. The machine is an
IGEL-Terminal, 233Mhz, 32MB Ram, 16MB DoC 2000, Cyrix Media GX.
An older one. I think Its an IGEL-C. From http://www.igel.de
Originally came with linux 2.0.36, libc5 and M-Systems binary-only
driver, no ssh. So I had to fix that ;)) As it turned out, 2.4.18
was the first kernel able to handle the nasty DMA-bug of the
Media GX chipset..

No. On the Harddisk is lilo. Grub was 0.93 or something. the newest
from cvs plus the newest MTD-patches, plus the Debian-diff, all
neatly patched in, with the rejects ironed out. Compiled with all
the debian-options plus the docchip-2000 option.
Cheers
