Good day, I recently acquired what I believe to be a HP 725/50 (if such a thing exists). I also have a good collection of SCSI hard drives and a SCSI CD-ROM. I also have a keyboard+mouse (UTP-ish pluggies) and a fat 19" grayscale monitor (co-ax plug). As Doug Hilton described a few weeks ago, I enabled the serial console from the BOOT_ADMIN> prompt. I'm still hunting for a null-modem cable, but I should have one shortly. My question is this: what boot floppy/LIF image/ISO should I be using for the best chance at a successful install? Also, is there perhaps a boot floppy that supports my display, so that I don't have to fiddle with null-modem cables? I am under the impression that the installation kernel doesn't have support for my display, but I could be totally mistaken. I have a CD-ROM with the 0.9.2 ISO on it, and I've booted it, but half-way through the screen went blank. I presume this is where the serial console becomes rather handy...? Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance. Albert
