FYI. 
I was able to restore a RAQ2 with the Restore CD using an Acer Travelmate
292LMi and the build in nic. It worked very well and took 20 - 30 Minutes.

I also did a resotre using a desktop with a build in realtek nic (rtk0).

It also took me a while to see that after restoring i can use rlogin to
login to the fresh restored cobalt. I tried telnet/ssh but they are not on
the restore cd. ;-)
