Re: [cobalt-developers] redhat 9 on a raq3

["Chad Whitten" <cwhitten@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

i did upgrade the rom (to 2.3.40).  i forgot to install the cmos tool but
i can pull that cmos rpm from the cobalt restore image i have.  ive also
got 2 other raq3's running the cobalt os that i can get binaries from.

ill look into the rom commands for the default boot setup.  i looked at it
briefly before and noticed there was an option to boot a gzip kernel.  i
suppose that is the option i need.

is there a way to write the 2.4.19 kernel to the rom?
