I had the same problem on a J6700.  The C3700 is just like a J6700 but
with one processor.

You need a more recent kernel than the one that comes with the debian 3.0
installer.  Go to ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cd-images/testing/auto-isos/ and grab
palinux-2.4.19-pa19 installation ISOs.  2.4.19-pa21 PDC didn't work for
me.

Grab the kernel after installation and manually copy it to
/target/boot/vmlinux BEFORE YOU REBOOT.  The stock kernel that is
installed is, once again, not recent enough.  The kernel may be in
the ISO - there are also precompiled test kernels in other directories on
ftp.parisc-linux.org.

I used the lifimage to netboot.  Your mileage may vary.

Thanks!

ps.  I probably won't see replies since I'm out of town for a week
starting tonight.
