[parisc-linux] C100 Boots! Really! Got a shell!

[Greg Ingram]

Gentlemen,

In a previous post I reported that telnet was answering but I got a
'permission denied' error and never saw a login prompt.  I suspected that
the root file system was never being remounted as read-write.  After
appending 'rw' to the kernel command line I'm able to login via
telnet.  Woohoo!  I'm using the nfsroot tarball from the FTP site.  Might
there be a problem in it such that / isn't properly remounted?

Some other things:

Trying STI for the console didn't work.  I eventually enabled the console
on the line printer (no printer connected though) and disabled the console
on the serial port.  I stop getting messages on the serial port at:

	Set default PSW W bit to 0

but the boot continues.

Also, I find this in dmesg output:

!!die_if_kernel: sleep(52): Unaligned data reference 28
