Hi, 

I'm about to install NetBSD 1.5.2 on harddrive on a qube2. I've
booted via NFS and is about to make a /boot directory on EXT2 file system
on first partition. However, the mkdir results in a panic.
I can copy files to the EXT2 OK. Creating directories doesn't
work. I'm using e2fsprogs-1.19.tar.gz
(md5 ef6a339f06e6d5eb1d7fe13462a37cb8).

I'm not too familiar with NetBSD so I show some details of
partitions, disklabels, etc.

If there's an easy way to configure the Cobalt BIOS to
boot from / on first EXT2 that would solve my problem too.
Already tried to make a symbolic link "boot -> ."  but that
didn't work.

Cheers,
  Adam
