I have some troubles in installation of Linux on HP PA 715/50
I have the following hardvare - HP PA 715/50 WS, 64Mb RAM, 1Gb SCSI HDD
QUANTUM LPS1080, DDS Tape Drive HP6400 2000, Floppy Drive Teac and CDROM
Nec CDR84JD-1
I have downloaded the last stable release - Debian port on HP PA 0.9.3 -
469Mb iso image
At first, I tried to install from CDROM. In the proccess of booting the
following messages were printed:
---------------
Trying to scsi.4.0
Failed to initialize scsi.4.0
ENTRY_INIT status = -13
---------------
Then I decided to install from floppies. However, some problems arised:
According to readme, I try to write on the Linux PC rescue disk for HP PA.
The command "dd if=rescue.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024" gave the following out:
--------------
dd: writing `/dev/fd0': No space left on device
1441+0 input records
1440+0 output records
-------------
The command "cmp /dev/fd0 rescue.bin" gave the following out:
---------------
cmp: EOF on /dev/fd0
---------------
I couldn't mount this disk on Linux PC (unrecognised filesystem)
When I try to boot from this disk on HP PA, I get the following:
--------------------
Trying to scsi.0.0
Failed to initialize scsi.0.0
ENTRY_INIT status = -4
--------------------
Could you advise me what can I do to install Linux on my HP PA?
