Dockstar suddenly started booting to Pogoplug after several years (no replies)

Hello,

Like many of you, I picked up a Dockstar over 5 years ago to run as a lightweight Unix box. I followed the guide at http://projects.doozan.com/debian/ and all was well. I was always able to boot to my flash drive on startup.

Starting about a week or so ago, I wasn't able to log in. I realized that it was booted to Pogoplug, and I could log in with root/stxadmin. The phone-home stuff was still commented out. The flash drive and the partition table seem intact. Uboot was still there (although it's quite old)

## Valid uBoot detected: [dockstar davygravy-2012-02-12-current]
## The newest uBoot is already installed on mtd0.

# uBoot installation has completed successfully.

Has anyone heard about this or have any clues on how to boot back to my Debian drive? I wouldn't mind starting fresh either, but I can't even get that to work. When I try to run the script to install Debian nowadays, everything is pretty much broken because Wheezy and Squeeze don't fully exist on the internet any more, or aren't supported?

I have to remove --no-check-gpg from the debootstrap call, and then I make it this far:

# Starting debootstrap installation
E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/wheezy
debootstrap failed.
See /tmp/debian/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for more information.

Squeeze gets further, attempting to download all of the packages, then failing.
