First can you see if you can get a validation beep out of the machine
by doing F12 and the VDU 7 as I suggested and if you have a MAC then
you could try pinging the Iyonix from the Mac. Failing knowing how to
do the latter have a look at your router stats to see if the Iyonix is
connected to the network.
Also did you remove the softload from your Boot sequence?
All this will help decide if it is worth trying the above suggested by
Dave Lawton as if your not booting to a usable state then a second try
and a clean restore will not work.
If you are not fully initialising RISC OS then it may have to be sent
back to Castle or perhaps CJE may be able to help.
