anybody using current?

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody is using -current and how it performs?  In 
particular, I am curious about the new thread library and python 
performance.

If you want to install the bootloader without
resorting to the restore CD, have a look at my
instructions at

Comments appreciated.

Qube 1

I just read the Read Me File in the Restore CD v 1.6.1 ftp directory.  Does
the image_raq1.iso.gz file work with a Qube 1?  The description says raq1 or
other equipment that does not have a serial console....

Thanks

Tate

 Yes.

 Ok, changed the description to be more specific.

Working restore cd?

Hello
I've read through the mailing list and I'm very interested in installing
NetBSD on my Qube 2 (40 gb hdd). I got a little bit confused about where
to download the restore cd though. Should I get the one from
http://only.mawhrin.net/~cdi/netbsd/cobalt/tulipfix/image.iso.gz or from
the ftp.netbsd.org?

Sincerely Thomas

Re: Working restore cd?


I'd suggest to try this one:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/1.6.1/image.iso.gz

Is the restore CD bootable

Sorry for the newbie question:

Is the 1.61 restore CD bootable? I've downloaded it from:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/1.6.1/image.iso.gz

Burned it with 2 different Windows burning programs on 2 different machines
(Nero Ultra 6 and Alcohol 120) as a bootable CD using the ISO image - the CD
burns and if I look at it, it shows the full directory structure - however,
neither CD will boot (and I can get the Cobalt Linux restore CD to boot on
either machine).

Any pointers will be appreciated,

Rick Montgomery

RE: Is the restore CD bootable

It is bootable, but you did uncompress the image.iso.gz to image.iso before
burning it right?

image.iso is the only file you need to use and burn that to CD and that's
it.

Then you boot from that on a i386 computer and you are home free.

Here for the step:

RE: Is the restore CD bootable

Hi Daniel,

  Thanks for the quick reply.

Here's the deal - did the download - uncompressed the .gz file using Winzip
which gave me an image.iso file - used Nero - told it that this was a
bootable CD and to use the image.iso file - the CD burns without error - if
I call it up, I see a fully exploded directory structure - take it to any
one of 3 separate i386 computers, but none of them recognize it as a
bootable CD.

I've tested the computers by using a Cobalt 3 restore CD from the factory -
that boots
I've tested again by using Nero to copy the CD to a CD-R (in case of media
problem) - that boots
But the CD from the ISO (or the earlier CD from the ISO I dowloaded from the
only.mawhrin.net site) refuses to boot.

So right now I'm in this circular hell - I've been to the Nero site,
figuring I didn't understand how to use the program, I've gotten a trial
edition of Alcohol 120, I've been reading everything I can get my hands on,
but no luck so far.

So if I understand you - this ISO SHOULD be bootable on its own - so I've
got to try again with different media (or something)

Rick
