Hello, I am getting a hp340 with no disk. My log term goals are to
play with this box, it was cheap, and I want to play with networking,
so it seemed like a good idea. Right now I am trying to figure out
how to get a disk and os onto it. I dont know if it has a floppy
drive, but it definately has a scsi port and no hard drive.
I am running netbsd on an amiga, so I thought perhaps I could compile
the kernel and all on that, and somehow get it into the hp. The
problem is a) how do I do the cross compile? b) how do I get it into
the hp?
Any ideas or help would be most appreciated.
tools at my disposal are:
Amiga (68040) w/ IDE drive and floppy running netbsd
serial, parallel
486 w/ IDE/eIDE drives and floppies running linux
serial, parallel, ethernet, hub
Thanks in advance for any ideas
Bart Niswonger
