Hi! we tried to install 0.9 version in 715/33. It doesn't work. 

so use "rbootd" to boot up the machine.

For 715/33, 715/50, and 715/75, you should use the 0.9.2 ISO, as it
contains a fixed glibc, needed for the older processors in these boxes.
See <http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/download.html>.  I have always booted
via rbootd on my 715/75, never tried a CDROM boot.

[parisc-linux] low-level format for Hp 715/50 machine SCSI disk

[Yan Han]

Hi!

Does anyone know how to do low-level hard disk format for HP 715/50
machines. We cannot boot it up with its own scsi disck, since there are
error messages.

thanks,

Try putting the disk on a different system and doing a low-level format there. 
If the SCSI card in the other system has a low-level format in the card BIOS 
(most bootable PC scsi cards do) you can use that, or you can use the scsifmt 
command in the scsitools package (at least on Debian).
