Well, we had the same problem here, when we wanted to 'clusterize' a=20
bunch of 712.

You can find a solution by switching your 712 to serial console,=20
following the instructions found at:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/hypermail/parisc-linux/0423.html

You need HP/UX ISL for that.

If you don't have it, you can download the following lifimage:

and then using bootp with it...
