Why don't you boot from tape?  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.

[parisc-linux] LinuxTag

[Matthew Wilcox]

HP have invited me to be at their stand for LinuxTag in Kaiserslautern,
Germany on the 26th/27th of June.  I'd like to be able to demonstrate
something, even if it's just the bootloader and a spinning cursor.

I guess what I want is another machine that is attached to the webconsole
and a network between them to allow the A180 to netboot.  Or does someone
have a better idea?  (Would these management cards someone mentioned be
any use?)

Now I have some more questions:
- What HW do you need exactly? You wrote a A180. This is o.k., but are 
there other necessaries you need in the A180? And which linux version do 
you need on this server?
- Could you install the SW on the server?
