Where did the 4GB HD come from?
You know if it has 512 byte sectors and not some other size (like 520
byte)?
Does the 4GB HD work in another system?
The hard drive (ST34520N) has had Win2K and RH Linux on it in the past. I
confirmed that it has 512 byte sectors. RH dmesg reports:
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 8888924 512-byte hdwr sectors (4551 MB)
and RH fdisk shows:
Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 4340 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
The fact that PDC can detect the 4GB HD is a good sign.
The install CD not seeing it suggests something is wierd about the HD.

No parisc 2.2 kernel exists. parisc requires features (VM, DMA) in 2.4.
bf24 mostly likely refers to boot floppies versioning.

do these specs raise any flags?
