OK, I'm following the info from the recent blog posting,
http://www.prairienet.org/~jtuttle/blog/item/123/

I have a older PC with a ethernet card that lets me netboot the Qube  
2, and it seems to work fine with the Qube 3 for netbooting, too.

I had to upgrade the ROM to cobalt-2.10.3-ext3-1M.rom to get the  
Strongbolt netboot to work.  This ROM also booted the original OS fine.

The Strongbolt installer starts, prompts for install, checks the ROM  
and doesn't ask to upgrade.  It sets up partitions, finds the 2 disks  
and sets up RAID0, formats, at this point I don't watch too closely.   
All seems to go OK, it reboots, and-- kernel panic.

This is repeatable.

I don't have my console cable with me to get a console capture of the  
install (why don't install messages display or  get mirrored on the  
PC during install?  If I can do that, I'm missing it).

I feel badly posting without a console capture but it will be a bit  
before I can do it, and maybe this is something someone has seen  
already.

Thanks!

Brian
