You can't do that, that kernel is for mips only, not intel. Nobody
that I know of has built a kernel that will boot on an intel based
Cobalt machine. Not a NetBSD one anyway.

This topic comes up once in a while. If anyone has run their own
distro of Linux on the intel based Cobalt, this would be good info on
how to possibly boot a kernel from i386 land.

But since it hasn't been done (not that I know of anyway) with NetBSD,
it likely just doesn't work.
