[parisc-linux] IPL Boot Parameters [Originally SCSI Disks on a K580 Help Required]

[Derek Engelhaupt]

All good advice Grant "except" about buying a C2490A drive....DON'T.  I
replace them constantly.  Forgive my language....they are #@$%.  They
are unreliable at best and loud.  Heck I have (5) C2490A's sitting in
my garage in an old HP 6000 Fast/Wide enclosure.  I'll probably never
use them.  You could put 4 of them on the internal cable of your K580
and have the 5th as spare.  I'd let you have all of them for $40 plus
shipping.  Just keep good back-ups if you use them.....;)
