I've never heard of 512 byte sectors in a CD Drive. Is that a feature unique to CD-RW? Even if that's true, the PARISC firmware expects (or will read) 2k blocks.

"lifimage" files are also available that one can directly boot from. Follow the "Net Install ISO" link from the www.parisc-linux.org website. hth, grant
