Compaq iPAQ H3600 (cpu=0x0c108000 machine=0x01c40201)
>Description:
The installer does not seem to be able to carry out disk operations, it get stuck in a "lost interrupt / error reading fsbn0 / device timeout" loop when trying to install on the iPaq H3600.
I followed the wiki, and put hpcboot.exe, netbsd-ipaq.gz, netbsd-ipaq.symbols.gz, miniroot.fs on the CF Card.
The (known working, industrial grade, 1GB FAT32 formatted) CF card is attached via the CF Card sled expansion pack (PE2036B, p/n 173391-001, the PCB says the board is a 50H00043-00, rev A04). It is formatted (in Windows) to FAT32, single partition. The card works fine under Windows CE.
I start HPCBoot from the CF card with the following settings:
HPCBOOT Build 16; settings:
\Storage Card\netbsd.gz
Compaq iPAQ H3600
root file system: wd [miniroot.fs]
[X] boot verbosely
[X] serial console [9600]
Then the following happens, please see my actions in the below marked with :::
$ cu -l /dev/cua00 -9600 -d

If you booted from an external device, you may now remove it.
Thank you for using NetBSD!
NetBSD-11.0_RC4 Install System
>a: Install NetBSD to hard disk
b: Upgrade NetBSD on a hard disk
You have chosen to install NetBSD on your hard disk. This will change
information on your hard disk. You should have made a full backup before
this procedure! This procedure will do the following things:
a) Partition your disk
b) Create new BSD file systems
c) Load and install distribution sets
d) Some initial system configuration
(After you enter the partition information but before your disk is changed,
you will have the opportunity to quit this procedure.)
Shall we continue?
Yes or no?
a: No
>b: Yes
