This person succeeded with a serial console. Any reports of people 
succeeding with a graphics console?

I'm trying to do a network install. I installed bootpd on an Debian/i386 
machine and i boot with
 > boot lan
I chose not to interact with IPL, so it used default boot args.

For hardware.. it's a C240 and sam reports a HP visualize FX2(4) as a 
graphics card that is connected to a VGA monitor which works ok in 
HP-UX. If you can tell me how to get more detailed hardware information 
in HP UX, i'll be happy to provide it.
