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 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.
