I have an old 712 that I am trying to install Sarge on, and I can't seem to get past the disk detection phase. Here are the steps I'm taking and the results, following section 4.3 (Booting from network) in the PA-RISC HOWTO:
- I set up bootp/tftp on my existing linux box to serve up the lifimage from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-hppa/current/images/ netboot/2.6/boot.img. - From the HP BOOT-ADMIN prompt, I use "boot lan" to kick off the installation. - The image loads, and it goes into low memory installation mode (I have only 32 MB on the machine at this time). - I configure my network and am able to connect to the debian ftp mirror to get installation packages. - On the install package selection screen, I select the network setup, auto-partitioning, and SCSI support options, and those are pulled from the mirror. - This is where I get stuck. I reach the screen that loads up the partitioner, and it errors with the dreaded "no partitionable media were found" message. My machine contains the standard 1 GB SCSI drive that shipped in that machine, which currently contains an old HP-UX installation (that I plan to wipe and replace with Debian). The drive seems ok, because I can boot HP-UX from it. Is there a step that I have missed in getting the installer to recognize my drive?
