Kernel config and kernel image should work with all RAQ X86 models.

Haven't fixed reboot yet.  Reboot sends the system into the weeds.....  No PC BIOS to catch reboot.

Found a problem with the Cobalt ROM.  The "netbsd" command sends 1 Mb more extended memory than exists in the system.  Causes memory/buffer/pool allocations to panic.  This error is also the reason why the INSTALL kernel won't boot.

Second ROM problem is that there is no way to set the Cobalt to boot into NetBSD automatically.  A "boot 2 NetBSD" setting would be nice.

System is currently crunching pkgsrc as a stress test. So far, so good.
