Hi Adrian,

I just sucessfully installed a hppa B180L workstation.

Installation happened via serial console, since it seems the kernel has
a bug which hangs the machine when started via graphic console (STIcon and stifb).
I dropped the 2019-05-09 NETINST ISO image via "dd" to a second hard disc and
installed from there, which worked.

Good work!

Helge
