Netbooting is a bit of hassle as I dont have any servers available for
that purpose right now.
If all else fails I might try that though.
As to IDE, just the CDROM drive is IDE, the rest is SCSI.
The Pioneer drive might be too new but I wonder if that would cause
the SCSI error.
For anyone that missed it, this is the first error that flashes past :
cb_open: failed SCSI 0 4 0 0 0 0 0, dka0.0.0.4.0
That does mention the CDROM drive though, hmm, perhaps I should stick
the Plextor back and get me some regular CDR's instead of DVD's ;) The
system did also come with an old Debian distro, will try that too with
the old drive.

There is some variation of hardware components in the PWS. Older
PWS's had a
bug in the IDE chip. I had to replace a failing CDROM drive with an
old 2
speed SCSI CDROM because of it. Some newer PWS's have USB.
I had to build my kernels to force PIO on IDE disks. It worked after
that but it wasn't super fast. I have a vague memory of plugging in an
IDE adapter card in an attempt to get around this, but I don't recall
the result.
