Hi all,

back online after a few weeks of traveling. This is to announce availability
of a new restore CD featuring 1.6.1 kernel and userland along with a few bug
fixes and additions (the list of changes attached).  Please find the images at

 http://only.mawhrin.net/~cdi/netbsd/cobalt/1.6.1/image.iso.gz
 http://only.mawhrin.net/~cdi/netbsd/cobalt/1.6.1/image_raq1.iso.gz

There are two images now. The former is for Raq2/Qube2 machines while the
latter is for older raq1 boxes, with the difference that raq1 image contains
the kernel patched to disable DMA transfers and to avoid using serial console.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

SY,
--cdi
