Give me your A180C and I will boot NetBSD on it. ;-)
At the moment NetBSD may be only of limited use on this machine. The
A180C has PCI Ethernet and NetBSD has no PCI support yet. But I am
currently working on porting the OpenBSD/hppa PCI code to NetBSD. Note
also that NetBSD/hp700 is not stable enough for real world use at the
moment.

Yes. I have a B180L that is quite similar to the A180C. I instaled
OpenBSD 3.5 on my B180L and it worked quite good.

Netboot it. All you need is DHCP, tftp and NFS. There is
