Carsten,
I know this is a stupid question, but is the Qube actually seeing
your i386 machine - it looks like it can't find anywhere to boot from and
is falling back to the local drive. It then panics because it can't find a
kernel there either..
Have you changed network cards or anything like that?
Can you do a net install to one of your other drives?
Regards,
Pete.
