 I have the same problem. Mklinux won't boot on my C160 (even in duplex
 mode through the serial port). So I'll have to
 be working from either an HPUX or Linux-x86 build environment. What build
 environment are most of you planning on using?

 Also, a question to others:
 I have started to tinker with writing an IPL for the native
 port (i.e. bootstrap code). I've been compiling/assembling within HPUX,
 but I can't seem to ascertain how to get "ld" to generate a "straight"
 binary file rather than a SOM object. The bootstrap code obviously
 has to be a plain binary to work. Note that the version of gcc I picked
 up from www.software.hp.com utilizes the HP linker, not GNU ld.

 I tried to use "objcopy -O binary some_file binary_file" with no luck. The
 resulting file was stripped of the SOM garbage, but unfortunately most
 of my code and data was also stripped away and the file was mostly zeroes!! 
 Any ideas on how to generate plain binary? Is the above behavior a objcopy
 bug or was this pilot error?

 Regards, Jason.

OK, In case others on this list don't know about it, there is a publically
accessable HP doc site at http://www.docs.hp.com

Amoung other things is a white paper on booting at:

http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/content/boot.html


Looked through the above and while it may not answer all questions there
might be a gem of information or two in there.

Make sure you also use http://www.software.hp.com/STK, if you weren't
already aware of that site.
