Greetings,
I'm not sure about this specific model but...
the Cobalt stuff, in most cases, has a very unusual boot loader (a Linux
kernel that can only boot only certain type binaries IIRC) that would
make it impossible to boot a BSD kernel.
I do recall seeing where someone was able to boot FreeBSD on a RaQ3 but
that was a while back.

Hi,
can you give me some advice how to install OpenBSD
on a Sun Cobalt Qube 3, please?
The Cube comes without cdrom or fd and no display
I read about the PXE installation
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PXE
What kind of installation method do you recommend?
Regards
Wolfgang
