I created a 2 line file, build/config/type/netboot-hppa containing


# FLOPPY_SIZE value is not relevant, but it needs to exist so that palo gets run
FLOPPY_SIZE=1440


After that, "make TYPE=netboot" produces a lifimage, from the existing
$(IMAGE) target in make/arch/linux-hppa.  Output is dest/netboot-image.img


Thorsten, shall I submit this, or will it interfere with what you are
doing?

Thanks,
