Help needed: Installing Gentoo on Cobalt Cube 3

[whitney-wiliams]

I've got an old Cobalt Cube 3, and I want to install Gentoo linux on it (I can't get the 'OS restore CD' t work).

There is no display, just a serial cable, an UW SCSI interface, and an ethernet port.

Does *anyone* have any experience with the Cube and/or *unusual* 'cross-over' ethernet installations?

TIA.

Well, you could try modifying the livecd (there's a thread about it somewhere), then you could add sshd and you nic to automatically start so you can log in using the nic and another computer.

Hope this'll help you,
Frank
