Thanks for the reply everyone.
   
  I used the front panel buttons to network boot. But all I see is netbooting and that's it. Nothing on the console. I left the system about 10-15 minutes, but nothing happened. So far as I can see, there is no network traffic. I can try it with a pc. Other suggestions?
   
  Thanks.

Did you use the firmware to tell it to network boot, or did you use the front panel buttons?

  I have a cobalt raq2 server and I want to install NetBSD on it. I downloaded the restore CD, used a cross over cable, boot a laptop with the CD, put a terminal on the raq2. But the raq2 hangs on netbooting. Nothing happens. What do I have to do to get NetBSD on it? 
   
  Thanks.
