[parisc-linux] Booting 0.9.2 on C110

[Witvliet, Hans]

Thanks Richard,

Tried it straight away, but no luck!
Neither keyboard or mouse unplug/replug, nor space, return, escape, ctrl-c,
ctrl-d or any function key seems to be noticed.
I'll try to find an other idle-hp-machine to see if i see the identical
behaviour....
