[parisc-linux] Booting to ISL with Linux installed

[Björn Bylander]

Ok, is there no way to do the equivalent of "conspath" under Linux, through /dev/nvram perhaps?
If not, is there any way I can get the "uxbootlf" image without buying a license for the appropriate HPUX version?

Best regards,
Björn
