This worked perfectly - I was able to get my C8000 up and running this weekend! Much thanks to everyone for help and patience! I will installing/updating my J6750 during the week - and will hopefully be looking to help test/contribute going forward.
If there is something in the Debian PA-RISC space that I can help out with, please let me know! I am looking to put these machines to good use, and hope to use them for a long time going forward - so please let me know if there is any help that I can provide to the port! :)
Cheers,
J
