[parisc-linux] Try to boot b2000 failled?

[EVERSON,SETH (HP-Loveland,ex1)]

Joel -

Here is what I've been doing to install debian on my C3600 and J5000.  No 
need for network or anything:

1.  Copy the file LIFIMAGE in the disks-hppa directory to a CD-ROM
2.  Boot a HP-UX 10 or 11 cd
3.  Go to the installer, and go to a recovery console.
4.  Load 'dd' and 'mount'.  This will get dd and all the mount files.
5.  Go to a shell.
6.  Mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 to /mnt with mount -t cdfs 
7.  Go to /mnt, then do a 'dd if='LIFIMAGE;1' of=/dev/dsk/cXtYdZ bs=2048'  
    where x, y, and z are your target scsi hard disk.  
8.  Reboot the machine, and boot the scsi hard disk you just targeted.
9.  Interact with the IPL, and your done.

The great thing is, everything gets loaded into RAM.  So, when you start
the install, just partition both drives like normal, and install.  Just 
make sure you do everything right the first time, or you'll have to repeat
the process.

Oops... I find back a kernel pa12 and this boot better until it panics
because of:
...
root fs not found
...

So I suspect a mistake in the bootp-tftp config.
In fact I would like to mount my palinux-0.9-3 cd on b180:/cdrom and use it
as
root fs to install the b2000.
Unfortunately i do not find any example to do this. Is somebody can share
its
experience.

Thanks in advance for additionale help,
    Joel
