What worked for me: - debootstrap an hppa chroot from your 712. - tar the chroot into a single file. - NFS export the chroot, and the wherever the file is located. - Install rbootd server. - Download kernel sources - Change the #define NCR_700_MAX_TAGS to 1 - Build kernel for the 715 with the nfsroot option. - Put the *lifimage* in the rbootd servers path - Rboot the 715/50 into the nfsroot. - On the 715/50, mount the internal drive and unpack the chroot tar-ball. - Chroot into hte 715/50's disk and run palo as required to boot the drive. You should have a working 715/50 by then. c.
