try to get the 0.9.2 iso, and be prepared (have a serial console and/or
tftp/netboot machine to hand). Also, reading the archives may help a lot
(particularly from the parisc-linux mailinglist, not this one) since
boot problems are often discussed. Check the archives ar
parisc-linux.org.

calls are available. This is also in the archives.
