Cobalt works again

Yesterday I`ve managed to get my new Cobalt to boot.

I`ve installed Strongbolt OS 1.0.6 on the machine and upgraded to Strongbolt 2.

This upgrade included a new bootrom kernel (2.6.23.8-i586), which includes some changes to be able to boot from a USB device.

Strongbolt 2 still uses CentOS 4 as backend.

Later this week I will put some effort into it to make the machine boot BlueOnyx 5.4, which is based on CentOS 5.4
By having a newer CentOS version I also have a newer kernel and the ability to use newer packages.
I can`t wait to get MySQL 5.5 and PHP 5.3 on the machine.

Another thing I still have to do is to buy another Cisco Serial cable to connect the two routers to my webserver.
