Could be that the installer is only looking for the primary hard disk;
which for hp, pa-risc is id 6 (secondary is id 5)...
(-- Could by I have those reversed -- Might be pri=5, sec=6 )
Try setting your scsi id numbers, disk=6, cdrom=5.
( Or the reverse of that )
OR
Configure your network, and net-boot the machine.
You can find directions on the site for doing that.
Note:
With 64M of ram, be sure to allow a generous swap
partition when you partition your disk drive.
