Hello Dorin,
sorry for the late answer. You have two possiblities to test the
bootstrap program on your 712/100:
1. If you have a second disk on that machine, you can follow
Jason's original instructions. I have attached them to this mail
in case you have not been on the mailing list at that time.
2. The easiest way is to use rbootd. For this test you need a
linux-x86 machine connect to the 712/100 via LAN:
Download rbootd from
ftp://sod.res.cmu.edu/pub/parisc/tools/RPMS/rbootd-2.0-2.i386.rpm
and install with rpm -i rbootd-2.0-2.i386.rpm.
Create directory /export/hp/rbootd/ and copy BOOTSTRA.BIN to this
directory as vmlinux.
Edit /etc/rbootd.conf and insert the MAC-address of the ethernet
card of your 712/100 in this file. In case you don't know that,
you can use HP-UX's landiag(1M).
Start rbootd on the linux-x86 machine.
Reboot the 712/100, stop the automatic boot process, and let the
machine search for potential boot devices. You should get at
least two possibilities: your hp-ux disk and the lan-boot linux
machine. Select the lan-boot machine and the bootstrap test
should be loading.
Greetings
Ulrich

I apologize for my ignorance, can sbdy give me a few pointers on what I
need
to do to load the bootstrap on a 712/100 with no floppy?

Betreff: [hppa-linux] bootstrap test
------------------------------- Nachrichteninhalt ------------------------------
Greetings HPPA hacks:
I have enclosed a simple bootstrap test binary for HPPA/Linux. At this point,
it is not much more than a "hello world" type program but shows that we
can get a bootstrap going.
I would be grateful if one or two of you would test it on your systems. I have
tested it on my C160 which is a PA2.0-based system and would like to make
sure it works correctly on PA1.1 systems before doing more work.
Instructions:
1. uudecode the enclosed "bootstrap.bin" binary.
2. Write bootstrap.bin to a unused harddisk in raw mode (at the beginning
of the media). On my HPUX system, I use
"dd if=bootstrap.bin of=/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0" to write the boot image to
my scratch disk. (You might also be able to burn a CDROM instead, but
I haven't tried it).
Be careful and make sure this is a scratch drive -- or at least backup
the sectors that will be overwritten (about 40Kbytes) and restore them
later!
3. Reboot the system. Stop the autoboot and ask the ROM to boot from
the scratch disk (I just set this disk up as the "alternate boot path"
and then use "bo alt" at the boot prompt).
4. Hopefully you will then see a message "HPPA/Linux Bootstrap" which means
it worked. There will also be a line printed "CPU x: (yyyyyyyy)". This
is your CPUID.
Your feedback would be appreciated, i.e. did it work or not on your system.
Please send the CPU line as well.
Thanks very much for your time, Jason.

My 712 (a /60) uses bootp for network booting. I thought only the
older 700 classes used rboot for
network booting.

Actually, the last one failed on some machines, I need sort out what
happened. Then I'll put up a revised version that you may try (and others).
From now on I'll be distributing them on the FTP site so people can
pick them up more easily.
Jason Eckhardt.
