[parisc-linux] Trouble booting 712/80

[Rajiv Dighe]

Hi,

    HP newbie here. I just acquired a 712/80 with 96mb ram & 1gb hdd. I am
looking forward to helping with linux port effort as soon as I can get HP/UX
10.20 installed on this darn machine. so far it refuses t o boot from
cd-rom. cd-rom is seen as a result of search command issued at boot-admin
prompt but 'boot scsi.5' just returns me back to boot_admin promt after
about 5 seconds. boot rom version is 1.6. All I know is that this machine
was set for netbooting. any ideas?

PS: both cd-rom & media are known & proven to be good. other 712s have been
installed using same drive/media.
