Okay. I've tried this:
Connect a pc (pc1) with a null-modem cable to the raq
Connect the raq with a cross-over cable with another pc (pc2)
Booted the pc2 with the restore cd 3.0
Booted the raq, holding the buttons on the front.
I now see the internal test (We serve it.....)
The last message is: Decompressing done
And then nothing happened. On pc2 (booted with the restore CD), I did:
# tcpdump -i lo0
tcpdump: listening on lo0
But also nothing happened. When I used CTRL-C:
0 packets received
After some times the Raq system booted thes system from it's own harddisk with the following message: Jump_to_Real_Kernel: disk error, trying BFD again.
What do I wrong?
Thanks for the reply.

If you run tcpdump on the other end of the network connection, do you see any traffic?

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.
