I read it, and the _readme_first.txt there, but they don't mention that
those lifimages are prepared for NFS Root opposite to the one I used.
And the NetInst procedure for Debian/i386 uses a RAM-Disk, too, so I
thought those were using a initrd just as the one I got from
ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/. And so I just put it out of my
scope when searching for non-ramdisk images.

But I see that the I have to cross-read everything twice here, my fault.

Thanks for the hint.
