[hppa-linux] Bootstrap #3 successful

[hppa-linux] Bootstrap #3 successful

[Jason Eckhardt]

I'm happy to report that bootstrap #3 passed for everyone who reported back
thus far, thanks for taking the time to help out. Network, disk, and even
ZIP drive boots worked. I'd like to see a CD-ROM test if someone has a
CDR drive available.

1) 780/C160       (disk)
2) 715/64         (BOOTP)
3) 816/E35        (disk)
4) 712/100        (disk)
5) 712/100        (SCSI ZIP drive!)
6) 715/33         (RBOOTD) 
7) 715/80         (?disk?)

This means that we now have a simple but functional bootstrap. We are ready
to load a real kernel instead of a dummy one!

Phil Schwan is helping to solve the ftp problems and I will be uploading
the latest working boot sources. I've also added GPL license stubs to
each source file, a mildly detailed README, etc.

Regards,
Jason Eckhardt.

Hello,
	If someone can send me directions on how to make a bootable cdrom from a
windows based cdr drive, I can test booting a 712/60 off a cd.

    It didn't seem to work for me coming off bootp.  It might have been
my mistake, so I'll verify from home tonight and give you the results. 
My system is a 712/60.

Hi,

I have also just tested it on a 887/G50 and a 827S, both from scratch SCSI
disks. Everything went perfectly.

Well done
David
