Re: [cobalt-users] Rom Upgrade

["Todd W" <twooly@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok I have rebooted just fine now but one weird thing that I was hoping
someone could help out.  When I try to boot from net I get a kernel panic
everytime.  Is there something that I am missing.  Not this is a Raq4i with
2 drives on the same channel.

Thanks
