Hello,

I have screwed it up again.

If I re-install using the CD to get a fresh 1.6.1 installation what do I do to
recompile the kernel on my Qube 2?

Here is what I did:

Download syssrc.tgz from
http://ftp.plig.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6.1/source/sets/
Copy syssrc.tgz to the Qube
tar -xzpf syssrc.tgz
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/cobalt/conf
cp GENERIC QUBE
vi QUBE
..make changes
config QUBE
cd ../compile/QUBE
make depends
make

edit /etc/fstab the following line
     /dev/wd0e /altroot ext2fs rw 0 1

mount /altroot

[I think I messed it up here somewhere]

rm /altroot/boot/vmlinux_RAQ.gz
rm /altroot/boot/vmlinux_raq-2800.gz

mv /netbsd /netbsd.orig
mv /altroot/boot/vmlinux.gz /altroot/boot/vmlinux.gz.orig

cp netbsd /netbsd
cp netbsd /altroot/boot/vmlinux
cd /altroot/boot
gzip -v9 vmlinux


Any tips appreciated.

Also can I set up my i386 to do the compilation as it takes over half an hour on
the Qube?

Thanks,

Phil
