Damian,
I'm surprised the 2.4.22 netinst.iso doesn't boot on your c3700.
I'm currently running 2.4.22-pa14 on a C3600 with STIFB console.

The output you posted started with 2.4.17 boot and then garbled
at the end. I don't understand how HPMC dump messages and what looks
like PDC output (eg "To discontinue search,...") got mixed up.

If you can netboot a 2.4.22 kernel image from:
	ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/c3000/

and point the "root=" at the CDROM install disk, I would expect
it to complete the install....but that's non-trivial to setup
and it's alot to ask for. If you don't have time or it's too
complicated, don't worry about it.

I'll try to netboot the netinst.iso that you used at home on a C3000
and see what happens.

thanks,
grant
