i meant

tar tzf <path-to>/syscrc.tgz | head

sorry about that

you want to make sure that "options NETATALK" is in your kernel config
file and then rebuild the kernel for apple talk support.

i'm sure there is documentation for building kernels, but the procedure
basically is

cd /usr/src/sys/arch/cobalt/conf
config <YOUR CONFIG NAME>
cd ../compile/<YOUR CONFIG NAME>
make depend
make
make install
gzip netbsd
cp netbsd.gz /altroot/boot/vmlinux.gz

(or wherever the vmlinux.gz the qube boots from is held)

YMMV
