Ok, I got bash to build static against the glibc in the xc and I setup an 
nfsroot with bash as my init. I am using a new kernel built with the same xc. 
Here's what I get when booting,

and it keeps looping with that same error.

The bash I'm using is at

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/debug/bash-20001226.tar.gz

The xc I'm using is at

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/debug/xc-20001222.tar.gz

I think the kernel and libc have different world views. I can provide 
different bits on request.

Any ideas?
