[parisc-linux] Trouble booting hp9000 k class model k250 (shortish'd)

[Thibaut VARÈNE]

According to:
http://www.pateam.org/list.html

You need to use PDC console.

Then, following the howto at
http://www.pateam.org/doc.html
(not mentioning the numerous threads about this on this list)

you'd have found that you just have to use the latest netinst (as you  
did) and tell PALO during bootup to change the console to /dev/ttyB0
