[parisc-linux] Install on a 715/50 (wont boot)

[T. Martin]

Hello all, 
I've been following posts watching the port mature. 
 I d/led the .9.2 install.iso and it doesn't boot, I'm using a Toshiba
external cdrom from my SS10.
715/50 48 megs, 2x 540meg drives. HP Unix died on these drives after a
hardboot and no media to reinstall. 

I chose boot p2 (cdrom drive) and I get Failed to Initalize SCSI 2.0.0
and then several neat rows of hex. 
 Could it be the drive isn't compatible or am I doing something else
wrong. 
thanks 
Terry

Hi!

We tried two external cdroms(IBM and Toshiba) to install .9 images, and
created 5 cd-Rs (memorex, verbertim, Sony, maxell). IBM (1 speed, actually
manufactured by Toshiba)  went further, but crashed at some point.

Forget 0.9 images, use 'rbootd' to boot up the machine.
