Hiya folks,

in order to get some new info on my HP 9000 machine i tried the boot.lif 
file from OpenBSD's hppa port. I got that far that it loads the boot.lif 
file and the keyboard responds very snappy... The NetBSD bootloader is very 
reluctant to get keys from the HID so to say... maybe this might ring some 
bells ?

I've booted the OpenBSD kernel in its bootloader and it loads fine and 
prints the following (Since the NetBSD port is derived from it, it might 
give some clues) :

Its a pitty that OpenBSD won't boot as well allthough the homepage tells it 
does, but oh well... i was hoping to use the OpenBSD port as a first step 
towards getting NetBSD on it.

Any responses/help much apreciated :)

Cheers,
Reinoud
