Subject: Re: install/34280: cannot boot install media via serial

 Hi All,
 
 Thanks for your help.
 
 It has been determined this blade system is not
 compatible with netbsd and it was returned.
 
 http://galis.org/blade-penguincomputing/notes.html
 
 I beleve the central problem is around the HT1000
 chip which seems to play a part in USB, Serial,
 network and other functions, with a not entirly
 standard protocol.
 
 The PR should be closed.
 
 // George
