Hi Grant, 
Thanks For your Mail, 
To start with.

o Used a Winxp to write a CD!! 

o I did Search ipl from teh main menu itdid'nt  show the cdrom as an ipl device. 
o I tried booting hte CD rom as well but to no luck.. 
o IT's on a A500 (9000/800/A500-44)

Can you elaborate (give precise steps) on how you accomplished this?
The ISO images are "raw" files. ie burn them bit-for-bit to the CD.
On a linux box, use
	cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -data debian-30r0-hppa-binary-1.iso

where "0,0,0" matches the output from "cdrecord -scanbus".

It will show up. If you absolutely can't get this work,
start thinking about doing a bootp/net install.

Which one? A180 or A500?
It doesn't really matter since palo is "smart" and will pick
the right kernel (32 vs 64 bit). I'm just curious.
