[parisc-linux] IBM 3151 on K200 in Debian 3.0

[Thibaut VARÈNE]

Looks like you've been rather unlucky with your search :-P

On the m-l page (http://www.parisc-linux.org/mailing-lists/) this mail
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-March/ 
019399.html
would have told you to look at:
1) http://pateam.esiee.fr/doc.html for a boot howto
and at
5) http://pateam.esiee.fr/list.html for per machine details.

The latter link would have told you that for K200 you need PDC_CONSOLE  
which is enabled by default on the netinst isos available from both  
pateam and parisc-linux.org, and would also have pointed you at all the  
data you need to install your box with the following useful m-l thread:

http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2002-September/ 
017840.html

details being also present in the boot howto afore mentioned...

HTH,
