Greetings, It boots! Or something :-) After borrowing some terminators from my friend, I have the following success to report: I've managed to boot my 720/50 using Linux 2.4.9-pa22 over the LAN (with a make palo lifimage), using a combination of rbootd (for the lifimage), bootpd (for the IP address and such), and the userspace nfs daemon for the baseplus-20010404.tar.gz NFS root. The boot-up went as follows: (c) Copyright. Hewlett-Packard Company. 1991. All rights reserved. PDC ROM rev. 2.3 IODC ROM rev. 2.2 96 MB of memory configured and tested. Selecting a system to boot.

So this is where I'm stuck at the moment. The unaligned stuff also makes me wonder... perhaps it is unable to execute bash? What's next? Regards, Albert P.S. There aren't currently any SCSI devices attached, but I doubt that makes a difference...?
