cobalt OS under VMware or on anotehr x86 box for testing with no luck yet :(

Subject: [cobalt-developers] How to re-use a Cobalt RaQ as a regular
Linux/BSD box?



Does anyone knows how to re-build a Cobalt RaQ3 as a
generic x86 system (Red Hat, FreeBSD, whatever)?

I have a some RaQs that aren't being used, that I'd
like to reuse for other stuff.  Nothing against the
Cobalt GUI, but I don't really need it taking up
space, and don't need a GUI anyway.

There's no CD-ROM/floppy so I guess I can put the
drive in another system to install the OS and then put
it back in.  But I've heard there might be some
proprietary stuff in the hardware that might prevent
it from booting or running with a non-Cobalt OS?

Has anyone done this successfully before?  Maybe even
documented it? :)

Thanks in advance.
