I've think I've tried to convey the following command to you in about 3
different threads across 2 mailing lists :-)

Get palo-latest.tar.gz (about 62 KB) from puffin.external.hp.com,
compile that, cross-compile your kernel and then run the following:

(linux/ contains the kernel and palo/ contains the bootloader)

palo/palo/palo -f /dev/null -k linux/vmlinux -r root.bin -s lifimage \
  -b palo/iplboot -c "0/linux HOME=/ root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk"

What this does is the following:

palo takes the kernel (vmlinux (with Jurij's patches in my case)), the
latest Debian rootdisk (root.bin), puts them together and creates a
lifimage for you to boot via rbootd or tftpd (depending on your model).

Tada!

Have fun,

Albert
