Mind that some power supplies have a max current and a minimal current.
If the max current is significantly larger that the one of the official power supply (which now I don't recall) you have more chances that the NSLU2 without or even with load (HD)
won't draw enough power to keep the replacement power supply active.
It happened to me: I had to disable the low-power mode of my USB HD (as I was too lazy to solder a resistor on the supply cable).

If the nominal max current is much larger than the one actually
Just to clarify, you don't need to match the max current; the max
current of the power supply just needs to be at least as large (as the
max current of the NSLU2 or the original power supply).
When replacing power supplies, check that:
- the plug matches,
- the polarity matches (whether the center is + or -, this is usually
indicated in symbol form),
- the output voltage is identical,
- the output current rating of the power supply is larger than the
current rating of the load (in this case, the NSLU2),
- and that the power supply is compatible with your wall power (if
you're buying the power supply domestically, this last point is
probably true).
