Okay, finally I got things up and running. I'll just write this message just as a reply to all others: After trying Chris Live CD which didn't work either, I moved over to the "usual" way - plug the drive to another PC, write the image to it and then boot in the target PC. I switched the IDE cables to the secondary controller which didn't help either. I already changed the cables yesterday. Changing the power supply was not possible since I don't have another fitting one available. Or maybe the Live CD didn't boot because I'm doing something wrong when burning the ISO. Although I must say that i had never had problems burning (bootable) ISOs. I recorded this one at 4x speed (lowest speed my recorder will do) and with Disc-At-Once. To make a long story short: I don't know what was the problem here. Anyway, up to now m0n0wall looks nice to me. I very much like the firmware uploading feature -- I already thought about what to do when there will be a new version availabe. Again open the router, pull the drive out, plug it to another PC. Just don't have to worry about that anymore :) But I miss the possibility to login via ssh or something similar. You usually don't need it if everything goes fine with the web interface -- but since the router here has no keyboard and no monitor plugged this would be nice. I know, if the configuration is completely shot, ssh won't help... So is there anything? I remember having read something about a page inside the web interface... but I can't find anything like this. So thanks again for all your hints.
