This is highly unlikely, due to the size limitations of the ROM. Using the boot from net capability should provide a reliable alternative.

Adding support in the ROM for boot on USB would help people testing or installing any OS.
Idea is to copy a live CD ISO on a 1GB USB Key, plug this in the USB 1.1 port of most Cobalt Gen_III or Gen_V, activating the console and pluging a console cable. At this point we would should be able to install the machine in usual console mode (assuming the live distro is supporting the cobalt...

cobalt-2.10.3-ext3-1M.rom. Won't boot second stage kernel (2.6.16, root is /dev/md1) with 2nd processor installed. 2nd stage Boots ROM kernel for some reason. Take out 2nd processsor and it works great.

I can second this behaviour on a converted Symantec VELOCIRAPTOR VR1200 firewall.
The VELOCIRAPTOR VR1200 is a Cobalt RaqXTR with a yellow front panel.

LOL, how many times do we have to get cut and paste wrong
before we learn?.

"Other" only reads settings, doesn't allow to set boot
type to NetBSD.

When calling the NetBSD kernel the ROM passes the total
available memory instead of the extended memory.
Ext Memory = Total Memory - Low Memory
/cobalt-rom/x86/common/x86-boot.c
Code has: (mem_size >> 10) - 1
Should be: ((mem_size >> 10) - 1024) -1
- or - simply: (mem_size >> 10) - 1025.

After upgrading the ROM (ext3 version) on a RAQ3 the
machine will no longer boot. The front panel
initiates, the animations work, but a kernel panic
occurs during the boot process.
Attempts to re-install the latest RAQ3 and RAQ550 OS
versions result in failures when the root filesystem
mount is attempted (RAQ550 s/w displays a ****HALT****
at this point).
I believe I could backflash...
