[parisc-linux] New testing ISO available with recent boot-floppies

[Robert Stanford]

I tried the iso on my K580 (PDC console only) and no joy. Is there any
chance of enabling the PDC console (and/or device node in the ramdisk)
in the default kernel or does this introduce issues for other machines?
