Hello.
Can I boot Linux on the E55 server from a tape?
How can I make the tape.
Thanks

How can you run Linux ?
I thought, HP E55 (9000/856) is not full supported, as
the SCSI driver and the serial multiplexer (8-port serial,
where my console is configured to port 0) is not supported
(no driver !).
Or is there any, and I don't know it ??
If there is no driver, which console do you use ?
Do you really speak about the PA-RISC version of the E55
(modell 9000/856) or the new intel-PC server ?
Please remail !
With friendly regards
Christoph
PS: I would like to use my E55 server under Linux ....

If someone wants to put some effort into it... (hint: i don't)
the PDC spec (available from www.parisc-linux.org/documentation.html)
includes calls to perform block io. there's no practical reason
someone couldn't write drivers/block/pdc.c which performed IO through
this mechanism. performance would suck, but at least it would work.
