1. Where is my serial? AFAIR, the 712/60 has no console/keyboard -> serial option (unlike the 715/50 and 33's) So you won't see anything until you are booting the kernel and it begins to write to the serial console. 2. If your 712/60 has a floppy drive then you can use the woody boot floppies for HPPA. Again you will need to get into the boot console with a monitor to _see_ if the machine is happy and recognizing your boot floppy. 3. Need to get access to boot console, from there you hit escape and type lan_addr (my memory is bad... do not trust ;) Kenneth's email has a good link! ;) So I'll reiterate: http://pateam.esiee.fr/parisc-linux-boot/ c. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
