I recently picked up two Cobalt RAQ2 units on eBay. I have been trying 
to install NetBSD on one of them and I have not had any luck. The way I 
have been working on it is taking a hard drive I already have (A 40GB 
WD w/8 MB Cache) and partitioning and disklabeling it for NetBSD. I 
tried doing this and I can't get the kernel to boot properly. I will 
look up the exact errors later but it seems that it can start booting 
the kernel from /dev/hda1 but it can't use /dev/hdc1 as root. I may 
have my partitions messed up. I used fdisk to use the partition 0 as 
the Linux boot partition. Partition 3 is for NetBSD. I then used 
disklabel to deal with Partition 3. Partition 3 contains wd0a, which is 
root; wd0f, which is tmp; wd0g, which is var; and wd0h, which is usr. 
Something isn't right anyway. Could someone send me the output of fdisk 
and disklabel if they have a RAQ2? Any ideas of what I might have done 
wrong? By the way, I am trying to install 1.6.1. Thank you for your 
time.
