Greetings Guys,=20

    It's my first time on this list and I'm interested of putting up
NETBSD on my Cobalt XTR
I've read through the port-cobalt mailing list and find some
interesting info as to how one can install netbsd on cobalt but most
of the topics are on MIPS based cobalts .. mine on the other hand is a
Pentium III Coppermine Processor, 256 RAM. I've tried to incorporate
the stuff that i've seen guys do on the list/FAQ

I've done the following:

* slice the 40gb hd i have and format 20mb to ext2=20

* created the /boot /usr/games folder=20

* copied the netbsd-GENERIC.gz kernel into root directory=20
(ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/cobalt/binary/kernel/netbsd-G=
ENERIC.gz)

* did ln -s vmlinux.gz and .doug on /boot and /usr/games folders accordingl=
y=20

* setup nfs and dhcp on my linux box=20

* and lastly the bfd /netbsd-GENERIC.gz nfsroot=3D/home/raq/root=20

but it still loads up the linux kernel instead of the kernel i've just
specified.

maybe you guys can point me to some parts that I might be missing.=20

any comment on it would be appreciated.


any comments will be well appreciated=20

Thanks,
darwin=20

p.s.=20

  i got this cobalt from my old company it's a shipwrecked (meaning no
HD's it just boots) it has a 2.4.23-cobalt-rom-se kernel (i think this
one is upgraded coz when this box was operational i was certain that
it runs 2.2 series linux kernels) maybe this will give you guys some
idea :)
