NetBSD/cobalt 5.1_RC1 restorecd

5.1_RC1 binaries have been ready, so I've built and put
5.1_RC1 based NetBSD/cobalt restorecd:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/5.1_RC1/

No particular changes restorecd installation procedure itself.
Briefly tested on Qube 2 with an old ThinkPad as i386 server.

See also "Restore CD Howto" for details:
http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/cobalt/restorecd-howto.html

Generic updates/fixes on 5.1_RC1 can be found here:

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.1_RC1/CHANGES-5.1

Some highlights:
 - fixed NetBSD-SA2009-004 - NetBSD-SA-2009-013
 - BIND 9.5.2-P2, fixing CVE-2009-0025
 - postfix(1) 2.6.5
 - nvi(4) 1.81.6nb5, including misc fixes
 - pkg_install(8) 20100204 (allow using newer pkgsrc without bootstrap)
 - open source HAL for ath(4)
 - misc smbfs and ext2fs fixes
 - misc PCI wm(4), bge(4), bnx(4) and re(4) Ethernet fixes
 - several siisata(4) fixes
 - better behavior after crash with corrupted wapbl(4) root filesystem

  etc.

NetBSD/cobalt 5.1_RC2 restorecd

Now 5.1_RC2 binaries seem ready on ftp.NetBSD.org,
so as usual I've built and put 5.1_RC2 based NetBSD/cobalt restorecd:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/5.1_RC2/

Note obsolete 5.1_RC1 based restorecd has been removed.

See also "Restore CD Howto" for details:
http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/cobalt/restorecd-howto.html

Generic updates/fixes on 5.1_RC2 can be found here:
http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.1_RC2/CHANGES-5.1
(check entries between 5.1_RC1 and 5.1_RC2; not so many)

I also take video "Install NetBSD/cobalt 5.1_RC2 using restorecd":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTSrbkACU8k
It just takes ~10 minites 

If you see any problem, please report here or via send-pr(1).
