[parisc-linux] 712 and booting.

Which version of debian (sarge?), which kind of install (mini-iso & net,
full CD-install?). How much RAM?

Do you have more than one disk? Perhaps you're trying to boot from the
wrong one? Interrupt the boot process and type "search" on the prompt
to get all choices.

How does your partition layout looks like?

HTH,
