I'll check it out and let you know.  Thanks for making it available in the first
place!

I'm running this on a 425e with the standard built-in video interface.  I would
assume that it would be the supported interface, but then assumptions....

Also, I've been researching old messages on the port-hp300 list and I found one
from you from October of 1996 that details how to do a net boot from an HPUX
cluster server.  I followed the instructions and I've included the log file from
the rbootd daemon as an attachment.  Everything looks OK, but when I select 1Z
from the list of boot choices, I get the same "black screen".  Any ideas or
suggestions?  This is the 1.2.1 SYS_INST file that I'm loading from /usr/boot.

At this point, I'll try using the ZIP disk and see if I can get somewhere with
that, but if anyone else has any suggestion, I'm all ears at this point ;-)

Thanks again!
