Yes, 'chain' method merely means that you use Cobalt's firmware to load CoLo rather than burning CoLo to the ROM (which overwrites the original firmware). You'd create /nfsroot on an NFS server and put the CoLo 1.12 binary there as vmlinuz.gz (with symlinks to that file from vmlinux_RAQ.gz and vmlinux_raq-2800.gz; each model looks for a different filename), and a symlink from /nfsroot/boot to /nfsroot. Then, start the Cobalt and activate network booting by pressing the left and right key together. See my HOWTO at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/cobalt/sarge.html which describes basically all of this. > BTW are there any rom image files available for the cobalt-mips? > We have an eeprom programmer. http://www.colonel-panic.org/cobalt-mips/colo/colo-1.12.tar.gz contains a rom image and instructions (cf README.restore). -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
