[cobalt-users] Raq3 restore woes

[Brian Kosick <briank@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
	I'm having some problems, with restoring a raq3, I have the Cobalt OS3 
restore CD, and have followed the instructions, but the darn thing will not 
boot from the network when you press the buttons, I've tried crossover 
cable,and a hub.  I even hooked a serial console up to it, and got into the 
boot ROM menu and selected "bfn"  boot from network.  It goes out, gets an 
IP, from the dhcp server, then dies with nfs saying that it can't mount the 
root file system (worked with both the crossover cable, and the hub).  I've 
tried several different ethernet cards on the ?server?.  I am unable to 
locate any of the *exact* cards listed as being tested and work.  The one 
(3c905B-TX PCI) I used and successfully gotten the raq to grab its IP is 
listed under the "does not work" section with the qualifier "only works at 
10mbs".  Fine by me, i made sure that it wasn't, by using a 10mbs hub.

I apologize in advance, but I am unable to attach the exact error mesg, at 
this time, because I need the box I was using with the CD for something 
else.  Give me a few hours, and I can do it.  I hope that I have provided 
enough to get started though....;-)

Thanks!
