[parisc-linux] Getting a 750 to boot

[Stacy Olivas]

Hello,
I recently acquired an Apollo 9000/750 system and would like to load up PALINUX on it.  Unfortunately, I do not have anything other than the system (with a serial console).  No documentation, etc.

When I boot the system up it has the following:

(c) Copyright.  Hewlett-Packard Company.  1991.
All rights reserved

PDC ROM rev. 1.2
IODC ROM rev. 1.0
128 MB of memory configured and tested.


Selecting a system to boot.

Hard booted.

ISL Revision A.00.38 OCT 26, 1994

ISL booting  hpux
Exec failed: Cannot find /stand/vmunix or /vmunix.

ISL> 

I've attempted to hookup a SCSI cd-rom drive to the system, and it briefly looks at it before going to the screen above.

How can I get this beast to boot?  It has 2 HD's in it and a tape backup/floppy unit on it as well.  It also has a network card in it, (a TPT 92 series 802.3 10BASE-T Transciever with Lanview hooked into the AUI port on the back).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
