	For 0.9.1 it sounds like you picked up one of the broken versions
	of the ISO.  A new image was posted yesterday, so if you downloaded
	before that, please try again.

Ok, i downloaded the new one and it works better but still no installer =
because
my machine freezes at "branching to kernel at <addr>". Heres the =
output:

Trying scsi.4.0
Boot path initialized.
Attemption to load IPL.


Hard bootet.

	0.9 didn't work on 715/75 anyway, but I would not have expected your
	particular error.

	I have never booted my 715/75 from CD; I've always booted it from
	the network.  The README on the CD should explain (briefly) how to
	do that.

Well I tried to boot using bootp but it seems the 715 and my =
bootp-Server don=B4t
understand each other. I have a running bootpd but it wont get anything =
from the
715 because it doesnt send UDP-Pakets but LLC-Pakets directly to the =
given MAC.
Since I=B4m new to Parisc-Machine I=B4m maybe doing something wrong, I =
press ESC at
bootup and enter "a" to get to the Boot-Admin-Menu, then I say "boot
lan.<mac_of_bootp_server>" and I see that there are some LLC-Pakets =
coming to
the Bootp-Server but there are no responses....
