This machine will run NetBSD, albeit slowly :-)

Yow, I haven't installed NetBSD from HP-UX in a *long* time ... you do 
have a tape drive, so you can load SYS_INST from tape, though you will 
need an NFS server for the rest of the installation.

Wow ... you've got some cool HIL gear ... all I have are mice and the 
HIL-to-quad converter (so I can plug my really nice Apollo mouse into my 
380 :-)

Might start by reading the install notes for NetBSD/hp300 1.1:

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.1/hp300/INSTALL

Also, check out the NetBSD/hp300 WWW pages:

	http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/hp300/

There's some useful info there...
