Can you elaborate (give precise steps) on how you accomplished this? The ISO images are "raw" files. ie burn them bit-for-bit to the CD. On a linux box, use cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -data debian-30r0-hppa-binary-1.iso where "0,0,0" matches the output from "cdrecord -scanbus". > All I did is to search for ipl from the PDC main menu. but it > doesnt show the cdrom as an ipl device. It will show up. If you absolutely can't get this work, start thinking about doing a bootp/net install. > I'm testing this on a A class server !! Which one? A180 or A500? It doesn't really matter since palo is "smart" and will pick the right kernel (32 vs 64 bit). I'm just curious. grant
