Hi Andrew: The messages you are seeing are probably coming from you network card when it can not find a bootable system on your local machine. It is attempting to do a remote OS load. It sounds like the system can not find your hard drive. I would first check the boot sequence in BIOS to make sure it is still configured to boot form the hard drive. I would then boot from a floppy or CD and check that a) the hard drive is still configured, b) that it is readable c) that it still has a valid partition table, d) that it still has a valid MBR and e) that it still has a valid LINUX division table.
