Just installed 4.0_BETA2restorecd200708220002Z.iso on my loced qube.

Installation took around 20 minutes on the 80GB disk installed in the 
qube. Installations run's fine, but after installation some tweaking was 
neccessary.

DHCP was not working due to missing bpf devices, also the panel was not 
working. After loging in via Serial cable and running MAKEDEV init panel 
bpf the qube is running fine.

Only problem left is that paneld does not display anithing, it is 
running, not consuming allot of resources like it did on the former 
netbsd. echo "text" > /dev/lcd works, so it's not too bad.

some resources:
hoe to get the serial running:

the bpf fix: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2007/08/10/0004.html
the panel fix: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2007/04/15/0000.html


So do not try to install the box without a serial cable available :-)

thanks to all who contribute

Andreas
