Hello,

I'm trying to install the cobalt port of NetBSD on my Cobalt Cube
2700WG. I removed the original harddisk and inserted a 30Gb harddisk
that I had laying around. After booting the restore CD that I got from
the FTP site (the image-raq1.iso.gz) I netboot my cube. After a few
seconds the 'Netbooting' message dissapears and the NIC link starts
turning on and off (few seconds link, some activity, then link gone)
.. Is this normal behaviour or is there something wrong? Unfortunatley
the Cube 2700 has no serial port, so I can't see what's going on.

Any hints?

Thanks,
