hey Alex, Did you find/follow the booting instructions here? http://www.docs.hp.com/linux/pdf/5187-4551.pdf > Can I boot the netinst from network? If so, how can I do that?

Net install is an option - the best reference I have for doing a netboot is in the FAQ section of the systemimager manual on ia64. If you're not familiar with netbooting, I'd suggest this as a last resort.
