[parisc-linux] C180 netbooting

[nick@snowman.net]

Well thanks to your suggestion I tried not even attempting to change the
params and just see what happened.  what I got was
The 64-bit Kernel has started...
Determining PDC firmware type: Ancient Box (bus_id = 0x0)
Kernel panic: This system will probably never run Linux.

In idle task - not syncing

Is that as bad as it sounds?  Can I update the PDC firmware, or would that
not help?
	Thanks
		Nick
