At a guess this has something to do with this:

	DNARD Rev. 5, 08:00:2b:81:65:56 , 32 MB memory
	Open Firmware  Built February 25, 1998 17:19:25
	Copyright 1997 FirmWorks  All Rights Reserved

	Rebooting with command: boot
	IDE data error: 10=20
	Can't open disk label package

I think that the disk has a corrupted disk label, or maybe header =
table,
what's written on the disk for it's physical description?  has the disk =
been
used in another machine?  Try putting it in another machine and seeing =
what
it says about the disc.   The other possibility is that your firmware
doesn't like the drive, I dont' know if there's newer firmware or not.  =
Do
other discs work with the DNARD? =20

This is all an educated guess at the problem (I've not got a DNARD, =
only my
RPC :).  Someone out there may know what the exact problem is...
