Finally I have re-installed 1.6.1 on a Maxtor diamond 9 80 Gbyte 
drive. It took a while to figure out that the jumper of the drive 
should be master rather than cable select.
The cobalt should pick up all the network parameter from our Our 
MS$$$$ dhcp server - but he doen't.

I know I have to put the ip number of the cobalt into /etc/hosts, but 
I can't remember where the gateway (router), DNS server ip address 
and the netmask (255.255.248.0) goes.

I really should, but it's a long time since I did a netBSD installation.

It would be from great help if someone could give me the list of 
files which I have to edit

Many thanks

Frank
