I built a Qube3 Pro one from the Sun site and used it. I used

960-QUB30103FU		Qube 3 OS 6.4 Professional (Mendocino)

ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/iso/960-QUB30103FU.iso.gz
ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/iso/960-QUB30103FU.md5sum

Are you using one with an approved NIC card? It seems very picky as to what
it can use. I have to grab an old Dell Dimension 200mhz to use. 

I also had to go through it about 10 times or more before it got through
all the packages on the OSRCD completely. Each time it would fault - at a
different place though so I figured it wasn't the disk per se but possibly
something else (cable whatever).

It's a big file to download and verify.
