Next step: installing Linux. So I downloaded the 0.9.2 iso from puffin, the md5sum was OK, I made a CD, I could read that CD on my Intel linux box, all seemed fine. The C200 did boot HPUX-10.2, so the hardware seemed functional. So I entered my new CD and rebooted the C200. I set the clock, and typed 'BOOT SESCSI.2'. It found the CD, some messages about memory, then the line Set default PSW W bit to 0 and then nothing. I know booting with a keyboard/mouse attached to the C200 would be risky, but I don't think it should go wrong so early in the booting process? I tried to boot it without keyboard/mouse attached, but Minicom kept saying it was 'offline', and I didn't get anything on the monitor attached to the C200. I am suspecting this serial cable (do I need a 1:1 or an interlink serial cable? This is supposed to be a 1:1 one). Could this be a firmware-matter? I looked into updating the firmware, but I'll need some additional scsi-converter to connect my DDS-2 drive to the external scsi-port, since there seems to be no other way to update firmware. Should there happen something after 'Set default PSW W bit to 0' with this setup? Is the standard command-line of this image correct? I tried changing it to 'sti=1' but that didn't make any difference.... Thanks, Jurriaan -- The Swedish Chef has been assimilated. "Borg borg borg!"
