Debian 3.0r1 CD not booting on B180L

[Steffen Hein <newsgroups@qhe.de>]

I have a problem with a HP B180L machine:

--------------------------------------------------------

Main Menu: Enter command > in fv

FIRMWARE INFORMATION

  Firmware Version:          5.2

   3732

Main Menu: Enter command > sea

... (displays devices, P0 is the SCSI CD-Rom drive)

Main Menu: Enter command > bo p0
Interact with IPL (Y, N, Q)?> n

Booting...
IODC revision 153

(a few boot messages appear)

--------------------------------------------------------

The last line is something like "if this is the last line ... look at the
FAQs at linux-parisc.org" or something like that, then the screen suddenly
corrupts. There's not even enough time to read the message completely.
I've looked at the FAQ and read that boot problems might be associated with
outdated firmware revisions. I don't know if this is the case here but if
it is, it would be nice if someone could point me to a page with the needed
updates.

Any other hints on how to get this running?

Thanks in advance,
  Steffen Hein


PS: I'm very unfamiliar with this hardware architecture
