That's what I did. I was able to get the spinning curser on an s800 by dd'ing the bootstrap_4_bin file to tape and then booting it. I tried putting the kernal image on there too but it doesn't seem to really pass control to it. -David Mintz >From: Matthew Wilcox >To: parisc-linux@thepuffingroup.com >Subject: [parisc-linux] LinuxTag >Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 11:22:37 +0200 > > >HP have invited me to be at their stand for LinuxTag in Kaiserslautern, >Germany on the 26th/27th of June.
