Well, that's good to hear....maybe I am just not being patient
enough.....

When I turn on the Cobalt, I hold down the S key until is asks how to
boot....then I press the S key until it says BOOT FROM NET, then hit
the E key......that's when the LCD screen says Loading Kernel and
stays like that for over 15 minutes.....

Is that what it is supposed to say the whole time it's restoring??  Am
I just being too impatient?
