It appears that you are not selecting the mode of install - there is a choice between SSH and serial. You need to select the latter. I had two of these machines and the install process differed a bit: http://gnubies.com/linux/cobalt_qube.html http://gnubies.com/linux/cobalt_qube2.html I hope this is of some help.
