yes. CD or LAN. The lifimage has palo and vmlinux embedded in it,
parisc firmware can boot a lifimage from LAN, tape, CD or HD.
Any IO device the box has IODC for.
"boot floppies" is a gross misnomer for parisc since that's
probably the only media I've never tried to boot from.
I don't know off hand which platforms support booting from floppy.
I would guess 712 and similar vintage supports that if the
lifimage could fit on a 1.44MB floppy.

booting from a network is an option too.
