Unlike hp700, hp300 doesn't have any (usable) form of prom console; and sti(4) was initially written with hp700 in mind, with no provision to run before uvm is initialized. Early console on sti(4) on hp300 requires some work in the md console code selection, as well as in sti(4) itself to pmap_steal_memory() the memory it needs. You know where to find that code (-: Miod
