Thanks for your work on this!

I tested the NETINST image on a physical B1000 workstation.
It has problems that if you follow all steps, the initial installation
say that "an installation step" failed.
I checked the logs afterwards, and I believe that it fails installing
the "live-installer" and "systemd-boot" packages.
Both packages are not targetted for hppa, maybe they are missing some
not-for-arch tags?

I then pressed ESC, went to the next step ("Install palo"), there I then
could choose "Install base system", which then finally worked.

Another idea: I know this is the NETINST image, nevertheless I think it
would be good to include all basic packages, so that network access isn't
absolutely necessary.
