palo / fdisk and debian installer

[debian-lists@pcbkits.com]

First of all, my greets go out to the people enabling debian for hppa. I
guess this is what GNU was all about since it's begining.

I'm having some difficulties allowing my hppa machine (B132L) to write a
valid IPL.  Here is a snippet of the action from the console:

Main Menu: Enter command > bo pri
Interact with IPL (Y, N, Q)?> n

Booting...
Boot IO Dependent Code (IODC) revisiion 150

IPL error: bad IPL checksum.

Error Reading IPL

--- main menu --- (snip)

There is a 16mb partition on /boot or /dev/sda1.
The fdisk type is F0 and has the boot flag active.

I chrooted to /target to run palo, (all fs mounted) and this is the output
I receive:

sh-2.05a# palo

Any help would be appriciated.
