Hello everybody,

you now have the opportunity to show a debian/gnu linux developer the power
of netbsd :-) But seriously: I'm trying to get some sort of unix/linux
running on a Cobalt Qube1 (Model 2700WG). This is tricky on a machine
without a serial console, and all my tries with linux failed. Therefore i
decided to tryout NetBSD. I found the rescue cd, downloaded and burned it
and then bootet from it. 

But it does not seem to work either: The Qube does netbook the NetBSD Kernel
and after that the link led of the network adapter starts blinking in a very
slow speed (say 3 seconds on and 10 seconds off or somethink like this) but 
nothing else happens.

Any idea what i could do? I really would like to give NetBSD a chance.

Regards
Michael
