Nothing special. They are SCSI drives. Maybe I misremember what was the problem back then. I'm physically away from the machine at the moment. But I'm going to try the old installer CD in the next days.
How would I build my own version of the installer CD? I could use latest (or whichever) kernel.It's quite complicated. All steps are here:https://parisc.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/how_to_create_debian_unstable_iso_images.htmlBut of course it's possible to hack around, e.g. use existing CD-image and "just" hack in a new boot kernel. But, it's not easy!
Ok. Thanks for the link. I hope I don't have to go through it... regards, chris
