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.
