Sounds like the hard drive died of heat death.  At 18.2GB, there's a good
chance that disc runs at about 7200rpm, and each of those Ross HyperSPARC
CPUs puts out a -lot- of heat.

Ross called a lot of different CPUs RT626.  To get information on exactly
which ones you, have type "module-info" at the openboot prompt.  see the
following URLs for more info:
