RE: updated restorecd script (Re: NetBSD 4.0 Restore CD for Cobalt)

Hi chaps,

I tried the restore CD last night and it seems to work great. I've
not got around to setting up anything other than the os yet but first
impressions are good.

One thing that did stump me for a second is that I couldn't netboot
when I used the CD in my usual machine that has a VIA network card, I
put it in my laptop that has an Intel network card and it was fine.

I vaguely remember it being the other way around when I used somebody
elses 3.99.17 restore CD. Is it something to do with the machine it's
compiled on?

Cheers
Glyn
