There is a mach4/mklinux for HP/PA-RISC, availble in sources. HP released
docs about their hp700 series machines a few weeks ago, which should give
all the info needed. The OpenBSD port seems to run on a limited list of
machines (more restricted than what they claim on their www pages: they
claim to support the 2 HPs I have (710 and 720), but the kernel panic before
going to virtual mode).
I've been able to compile a NetBSD kernel and load it (based on the OpenBSD
code), but I have problems with the earlier pmap initialisation, before going
to virtual mode. Now that HP released some docs I have better clues on how to
fix the problem but didn't have time to work on it since then.


Don't know for the other questions :)
