Hi,

Sorry if you have answered this a few times before but I've been 
digging around in the archives and haven't found a definitive answer...

I purchased a Qube2 off eBay recently. It turned up running Cobalt OS, 
but came with 2 CDs, the Cobalt Restore and NetBSD. I decided to switch 
to NetBSD, ran the installer... it got to 'Rebooting...', then it just 
hangs on 'Starting up'. I left it like this for a whole afternoon 
incase something was running.

I have 20Gb HD and 128Mb RAM so hardware shouldn't be a problem.

I dug throught these lists and various other sites I googled and have 
played around with the HD jumper settings to no avail.

I don't have much time to fiddle around with the Qube at the moment so 
thought I'd just stick the Cobalt OS back on... but that didn't work 
either... the install starts up and runs through a couple of checks, 
then just restarts and sits at 'Starting up'.

Thing is, my main machine is a Mac running OS X and I did the install 
using a machine I borrowed from work, which is an intel based SGI 
machine, full of weird SCSI parts and components. Seems to run the 
NetBSD restore OK but I'm not sure all the drivers load properly for 
the Cobalt restore.

Any ideas? Right now I'd just settle for a working Qube.

I have thought of buying a serial cable to check out the output when 
the Qube boots but being a mac user I'm not too sure about terminal 
programs on Windows that would be suitable for this.

TIA,

Ant
