Andrew,
I doubt the kernel on those images will work on C3700.
We didn't have access to the HW and several problems have been
fixed since then.
I can think of two choices:
1) grab a newer kernel from http://cvs.parsc-linux.org/downloads/
and build your own lifimage. Set up dhcp/tftp so the lif image
can be netbooted and point at the CD-image as root=/dev/cdrom.
Lots of grungy details to make this work but the basics are
documented on the parisc-linux.org website.
2) Grab the Debian-Installer from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
and give it a try. Some things may not work right but
I'm pretty sure the kernel it uses will boot on c3700.
hth,
grant
