Hi there,

I'm new to this list, and fairly new to the fundementals of NetBSD,
I've played with FreeBSD in the past and loved it. I'm guessing there
are going to be similarities like all *nix OS's.

But anyway, the reason I'm mailing this list is my RaQ1 seems to get
"stuck" while netbooting the ISO advertised on
http://www.netbsd.org/ports/cobalt/ (
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/cdi/cobalt/NetBSD3.99.17-restoreCD.iso
)

I've posted a topic over at:
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=50410 - they
reccomended I come here, so here I am. This is what I read over the
RS232 cable and where it gets stuck:

I've attempted this with different hard disks/jumper configurations,
the RaQ will boot it's original stock OS without any problems.

If anyone may be able to reccomend a way to get this installed, I'd be
extremely happy, I want to put this server into small production at
somepoint as a backup web/mail server.

Regards,
