I did some searching in the archives and it looked like somebody
started working on a port to the Cobalt MIPS-based machines back in
2001. Is there a developer who is interested in making this port
happen? I know very little about programming but I would love to be
involved. If hardware is the issue, I have a number of RaQ 2s and a
couple of Qubes that could be used for this purpose. Anyone have any
thoughts?
Please search the archives first, lots of information there.

The only one that I am aware of that ever got some kind of success so
far is Ted.

Did it ever went more then that ahead, I do not know. That was 5 years ago.
The questions came up a few times but no success that I am aware of. I
spend a fair amount of time on it as well, without success, but I take
that as it's my lack of understanding for the process. Plus it's really
difficult as each crash, or unsuccessful loading, or boot, some time,
you need to reinstall with the boot CD, then load the software, source,
compiler, etc and that really eat a lots of time. Obviously there is
much better way to do this, as for me, I guess I am not an expert on it
and my progress are very, very limited and slow. May be one day when it
will be totally useless and I couldn't find anymore on E*Bay it might
work. I am still putting some time into this when ever it's possible as
it would be good learning and more a personal satisfaction I guess! But
look like I was trying to chew more then I could with it.
May be someone else might have more success, or more progress on it,
however, I am really not aware of any.
I am still learning more on it from NetBSD as at a minimum, it does work.
So, that most likely doesn't help you more then this. But that's where
it's stand as far as I know anyway.
