That is true to a point.  There has been a some work done on the 
nova class systems mainly by Christoph Platner to get the E series
working, and I belive Christoph does have a root nfs E55 running.  The
problem with the nova class systems are that documentation is sparse
and very hard to obtain.

First thing you need to do is configure a kernel with the PDC console 
support.  the nova class systems do not have a hardware console solution
(The K-class systems have this same problem).  You could also try to
enable the EARLY_BOOTUP_DEBUG in arch/parisc/kernel/pdc_cons.c to see
if that helps.

Good luck!
