perhaps you should read the section related to b2600 on this page:
http://pateam.esiee.fr/list.html

the mailing-list archive:
http://www.fr.parisc-linux.org/mailing-lists/

eventually the FAQ (there's an entry about USB keyboards)
http://www.fr.parisc-linux.org/faq/

and the Boot HOWTO
http://pateam.esiee.fr/doc.html

everything is explained there.

you need one of the latest netinst isos to install your box:

Hello Derek,

I also install a b2k with the help of a netinstall image (but a long time
ago :) ).

If I well understand your system is basically installed on your partitionned
disk (excepted that palo failled to completly install)?

Could you give us more details on those disk and its partitions?

By the way, in the install menu there is an option to 'execute a shell'
(IIRC).

Always IIRC, cfdisk should be install on your netinstall image and would
allow you to printout those details in the shell you just launch as above?

Before you exist this shell, can you still give us the content of palo.conf
installed on your disk?

Well, I do not yet test usb stuff on this b2k (as for the interanl gfx there
is not yet support I only use serial console) but IMHO there is no relation
with the failure of the palo install.

Joel
