Hi guys,
I have got an old HP workstation (with DDS, CDROM drive) and when I tried to 
install Debian-HPPA 0.9.3 on it makes impossible the installation at the 
point when you have to configure the keyboard. I mean that ( I got and old 
HP-HIL keyboard, you know the one with the RJ45-like connector) I weel can 
see on monitor the choises but I am able only to move the cursor upward or 
downward. Then it hangs!!! my question is: how to procede in this step of 
installation?
Thanx in advance

    Don't choose any keyboard mapping. Go to the next step.
    It works with default kernel mapping.
    I have 710 too, and ISO 0.9.3 works fine, but without HIL and serial
mouse.
    With the new  kernel pa-46 HIL mouse works but serial still not.
    In the new kernel the keyboard mapping is bad but HIL mouse plays fine.
