If your system has died you might want to check on the Multia-Heat-Death

+IDE:
+The Intel 82378ZB PCI to ISA bridge enables the use of an IDE disk. This
+requires a line in the kernel configuration file as follows:
+
+ device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
+
+The IDE connector pin spacing is thought for 2.5" laptop disks. A 3.5"
+IDE disk would not fit in the case anyway. At least not without sacrificing
+your only PCI slot.
+
+The SRM console does not know how to boot from IDE disks unfortunately.

SCSI:
In case you want to change the internal hard drive: the internal flat cable
running from the PCI riser board to the 2.5" (!!) hard drive has a finer pitch
