Tried to boot within VirtualPC ont the Mac...
The .iso boots, but could not find the root device at first, I hit enter a
few times, to accept the defaults, and it seems to have booted ok.
network device is up, and services running. If I netboot the cobalt
(raq2), I get this on the serial console:
Decompressing done
Jump_to_Real_Kernel: disk error, trying BFD again
BOOTLOADER DEBUG: flashdelaying...
BOOTLOADER: trying to boot from partition /dev/hda1
Decompressing done
It hangs there. I'm not sure if it is actually doing anything beyond
that. I really don't want to re-install the cobalt at this point, so I
didn't let it continue.
Hope this info helps!
thanks for all the hard work on the restore cd and the lcd driver!
