Hi,

I wanted to report success in installing my "brand new" Cobalt Qube 2 =20=

with a restorecd for NetBSD 4.99.16 (200703280002 snapshot).
If some one wants it, I can post it online.

I built the restorecd on a intel iMac on Mac OS X, it succeed but =20
with a few tweaks:
The restorecd needs this diff to use the correct mknod:

138c138
<       cd $_nfsdir/dev && $sh ./MAKEDEV init panel
---
 >       cd $_nfsdir/dev && $sh ./MAKEDEV -m $mknod init panel
216c216
<       cd $_rootdir/dev && $sh ./MAKEDEV init
---
 >       cd $_rootdir/dev && $sh ./MAKEDEV -m $mknod init


Then, for a reason I do not understand very well, mostly because I =20
did not dive into the whole process, just made it work, I had to slim =20=

down the config for the i386 kernel to make it fit in boot-big.fs.
Since there is a lot a space left on the CD, why should the i386 =20
kernel be shrinked at all ?
I also think the script could be modified as to not require mkisofs, =20
since it seems building the iso has been modified in current to not =20
use it.

So to sum up: You can "restore" a cobalt Qube2 from an intel mac =20
(with latest firmware, without bootcamp).
Please also note that the restorecd present online (the 3.99.x one) =20
did not boot my iMac...

I want to add, for the archive sake, that I replaced the internal =20
drive by a 250 GB WD Caviar SE, and it works. Just make sure to set =20
the jumper to Master (without slave) so that it boots.

I noticed that the display on the LCD panel is not very "stable". for =20=

instance, when booting, "[Starting Up]" on the first line is not =20
always correctly displayed. Some of the first characters are =20
sometimes not displayed, making the first line "move". Is this a =20
known issue (not that it is problematic in any way other than =20
aesthetics...) ?

I will follow up on some problems I encounter trying to run =20
postgresql on the beast.

Regards,

R=E9mi Zara
