Hi,

I got a new machine I would like to install OpenBSD/hppa on it.
I configured rbootd/rarpd and the machine get the kernel image
lif34.fs/lif35.fs from the network.

Some detailed information:
BOOT_ADMIN> INFO
----------------------------- Hardware Configuration
------------------------

Machine model: 9000/710

Processor Frequency        = 50000000 Hz
I/O Subsystem Frequency    = 25000000 Hz

LAN Jumper Status: Internal ThinLAN Port selected

Processor Revision                  = 3
System Controller Revision          = 0
Floating Point Coprocessor Revision = 3

Hardware Version            12288     (0x00003000)
Software Version             1153     (0x00000481)
BOOT_ADMIN> boot lan isl

Trying lan.000000-000000.0.0

Attempting to load IPL.


Hard booted.

>> OpenBSD/hppa BOOT 0.8
boot>boot
booting dk0a:/bsd: 1589520+2650112+376832=0x663158
SPID bits: 0x0, error = -2
pdc_coproc: 0xc0, 0xc0
WARNING: no HPT support, fine!
[ bsd ELF symbol table not valid: symtab unaligned ]
[ bsd symbol table has bad string table address 0x7fb37c4a ]
[ no symbol table formats found ]

Here the machine stopps. So I think it is not supported.

The website says :
Unsupported models

The following systems may eventually work:

    * PA7000-based machines: 705, 710, 720, 730, 750

Any chance to get the machine working in the future?
Anything I can do to help?

thx
        Waldemar
