Well, it sounds like the image on the disk is somehow corrupt ... are you 
sure that the one being installed is intact?

If you're not doing so already, get the source for `makedisk' (which is 
with the 1.0 distribution for the hp300), compile it, and use it to make 
your boot disks.

When you say `HP-300', _which_ hp300 model?  There are, like, N of them.  
Note that all of them except the 340 say `300' on the front.  (Just 
e-mail the output of `dmesg' if you're not sure...)
