Hi,

Ive just purchased an Qube 2 from ebay, it didnt come with a hard drive so
ive put in one of my own.
Now just as a test im trying to install the original restore cd but im
having problems, I believe its due to the hard drive having no partitions on
it, now my question is, do I have to prepare the hard drive before
installation of the restore cd/netbsd? If so do you recommended any
particular setup? Its a 40gb drive btw.

This is what I get from the console:
