	I'd love to hear more of the hp700 history..

	On a more serious note, the mailing list page has a
pointer to a non-existant ports page, and a pointer to a
non-existant archives index.  (are there archives?)  

	Personally, I'd love to see the old mail about the hp700
port, just to see if there is anything there to leverage..

- 	I believe the previous metric has been 'at least boots to single

	That's what I recall as well.  I wonder if booting to a
miniroot/installation ramdisk would qualify?? (not that I'm
anywhere near _that_ yet, but it seems like a reasonable
target.. :-)
