The image bootp got was not a LIF image.

The easiest way to build a bootable LIF image is to
have both linux/ and palo/ source trees from parisc-linux CVS.
(or ftp site). Then "make palo" from linux source tree.
Resulting LIF image is in palo/lifimage.

I don't think we have any lifimages on the ftp site
with recent kernels.
