Just got an HP rx2600 on loan, and am interested in installing Linux on it for a comparison with HP-UX, which it has pre-installed. The Debian install docs don't yet seem to have differentiated from x86, so weren't much help. I imagine I have to drop into EFI, or whatever it's called, and then boot from the CD, but I don't know how to do that on this arch.
I have some experience installing Debian on Alpha boxes before, and oodles of experience on x86, so I'm not a total newbie but I could do with some pointers to get me started with the hardware-specific bits... Judging by the quietness of this list in the few days I've been subscribed, I imagine the number of people running Debian on IA64 is currently rather small! Thanks in advance...
