Hi,

I am having touble net booting. I am probably doing this all wrong but
this what I have done.

I have configured my DHCP server to give my RaQ2 an ip address and the NFS
server address. 

On the nfs server there is a mount called /nfsroot wich contains the file
system from the cobalt.iso cdrom from the NetBsd site and a boot directory
with netbsd.gz in.

From the Cobalt: prompt on the RaQ2 I typed: 

"bfd /boot/netbsd.gz boot=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/nfsroot

the kernel is loaded and ouputed as follows, and get the end result.
