I am trying re-install 1.6.1 on to qube with the restore cd( can't find a 2.0 restore cd ) and I am getting non-media hardware failure when booting my pc from the cd. The qube just sits there saying its Net booting. This has been report before on this list but I didn't see any responses. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2004/03/04/0000.html joe
Well I don't know what this error is but I managed to get around it. I have two drives in my pc I was booting from. For some reason if the dvd was set as master I was getting the error. I switched the cd rom to master and now it works. *shrug* So netbsd 1.6.1 is back installed and now I have a new problem I can't seem to ping anything. I can connect to the qube just fine but when I try to ping anything from the qube it just sits there even localhost. PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes Must be some network problem but I don't understand how I can connect to it but can't connect out ? Any ideas ?

ok I have an experiment for everybody. Change the date on your qube to any before 1970 then try to ping 127.0.0.1 For some reason it just sits there and doesn't even send any packets. Must be a bug somewhere in the networking. Just thought I was would post this in case anybody runs into this problem in the future joe On 6/1/05, Jebus <lordjebus <at> gmail.com> wrote: > Well I don't know what this error is but I managed to get around it. > I have two drives in my pc I was booting from.
