Due to the PDC interface being enough to get us to a bash prompt without
deciding on a single machine / machine group, any machine that does what
the PA1.1 docs say should be useful atm.

I think (this is just my personal plans and might very well change soon)
we'll boot using a ramdisk loaded by the bootloader with the kernel.
This means you need a dedicated Linux disk, and probably a HP-UX disk
to write diskimages to the Linux disk.

I think we don't have any of the typical boring repetitive tasks to let
newbies do atm. The basic task is to get the kernel working and there's
a list for things needed (though not up-to-date) somewhere on
www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc.
