NetBSD 9.0 Cobalt RestoreCD/RestoreUSB
Dear Cobalt users, (I wonder how many users moved from port-cobalt@..)
I've updated and put cobalt restorecd images for NetBSD/cobalt 9.0:
https://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/9.0/
- restorecd-9.0-20200229.iso.gz is a gzipped RestoreCD ISO9660 image.
- restoreusb-9.0-20200229.img.gz is a gzipped RestoreUSB image
for >=800MiB USB memory sticks on USB bootable PCs.
See also "Restore CD/USB Howto" for actual installation procedures:
https://www.NetBSD.org/ports/cobalt/restorecd-howto.html
There are several known issue:
- no proper way to specify the target network interface for dhcpd(8)
on server machines which have multiple interfaces
(except rebuilding restorecd images)
- NetBSD/cobalt kernel has a bug in the LCD panel device driver
so all kernel binaries and /dev/MAKEDEV script are replaced
with custom build ones
https://gnats.netbsd.org/55009
- dhcpcd(8) issues (after dhclient(8) gone)
- dhcpcd(8) doesn't set hostname provided by a DHCP server
so dhcpcd hook scripts (29-lookup-hostname and 30-hostname)
are replaced with 7.1.2 ones
https://gnats.netbsd.org/55011
- dhcpcd(8) cannot detect carrier changes on Qube 2700 on boot
so it cannot get IP address after installation
