Hi Jake,

Make sure you do not have a warning message in your RAM. I got one
Cobalt before that keep rebooting and that was because I have the
biggest DIMM in the wrong slot. In your boot message below, you
shouldn't get a warning message.

Also, I saw an other message about the size of the kernel. You didn't
download the kernel from my site using Microsoft Explorer right?

Explorer decompress the kernel on the fly...

I compress the kernel with the -9 option. The one that was on the site
wasn't compress at all. The kernel is 774K compress.

You can compress the one you have, or download the new one.

I hope this get you up soon as it is pretty nice to have NetBSD on that
box...

Daniel
