Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4i but not RaQ4r

["Mike's List" <mikelist@xxxxxxx>]

Now, the installation boot off the net, but partitioning and formating
of the partition zip right through (less than 2 seconds) and reboot.
However, the reboot boots off the HD of the 4i installation instead of
continuing with the rest of 4r installation.

Maybe the HD on the second controller needs to be slave? or 512MB of RAM?

Raq3i/256MB (1 DIMM)/dual 30G on seperate controller (both masters).

(haven't got the null modem and cable to check the console).
