[parisc-linux] J2240 - Almost There...

[Craig D. Lansing (root)]

After using my CD burner to create several nice coasters, I have been
able to create a couple of CD's from which my J2240 will attempt to
boot.  I think that I am almost there, but need someone to show me the
error of my ways.  Disclaimer: I am not a System Admin by trade.  I have
been an HP-UX user since about version 7, but have not had a box of my
own to play with until I pulled this J2240 from the trash.  The system
is a J2240 2-way, 2.5GB RAM, 2x8GB internal FW-SCSI Disks, DDS-III,
internal Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM, 21" graphics console.

Here's what I get when I try to boot from the 0.9.2 iso CD after
changing my boot path to the internal CD-ROM (SESCSI.2.0):

Booting from the 0.9 sti iso CD gives the above and goes a little
further:
