I think you are right, Adam.

I tried dd'ing directly to a SATA drive, put it in the machine, and it again booted but this time IPCop setup could not find hard drives.

I googled the "No hard disk found" error and found

IPCop v1.9.x is based on a 1.4 kernel.  I don't know what kernel IPCop v2.0.3 uses, but I'm guessing it can't see my SATA drive, and I have no IDE drives in the machine.

Yikes.  I have an old pentium with an IDE drive with XP on it - but only 1 ethernet port.  I'd hate to rob my new machine of it's PCI network cards to stick in the old clunker!
