[parisc-linux] Problems with 715/80

[Chuck Slivkoff]

I would suggest that you disconnect any disks and power on the box.  
Make sure your null-modem cable is attached to serial port "a" and no  
keyboard is attached via the PS2/HIL adapter box. You will need to get  
to the PCD "BOOT_ADMIN>" prompt before you can get any further. If you  
can not get to this prompt, take note of the LED's being displayed. The  
service manual for the 715 should help to decode the LED's.

Hope this helps.
