Congrats... and sorry. Just kidding. I love the Cobalt appliances.

Not really possible to boot the RaQ from USB without a custom kernel installed to the ROM. (Strongbolt2 accomplished this, but is no longer supported) Here is a tutorial I found: http://www.openskill.be/files/2010/01/cobalt.pdf Easiest way will be to have a PC (or PC VM on your Mac with a USB to DB9 serial converter). Maybe the crossover cable will work. Even easier to use that PC to install BO on itself!! > All the other computers in my house are Mac based and I don't have a serial > port (I know, odd). > > Sorry if these questions are so rudimentary.
