The 755 (and 735) are only partially supported at this time.  The
fast-wide disks are behind an outfield card which is not supported yet,
so you can not use the FW disks.  It has been a long time since I
installed the 0.9.2 iso, but I have tested tested the rc1 of the
upcoming 0.9.3 iso on the 755 and it installed fine :)

I have not run into this one yet, and I did a network install of the 755
using the built-in 10 base-T. I will see if I can find an additional
EISA network card to add to the machine and see if I can duplicate your
problem.

yeah, boot into the hpux isl menu:
	boot pri isl

when in the isl menu
	hpux -is

will put you in single user mode where you can change the root passwd.
