One can build a boot.lif image which is good
for system boot from disk, tape, or across the network, following
these steps:

cd /usr/src
sudo make TARGET=hppa cross-tools
cd /sys/arch/hppa/stand
make obj
set cross=(/usr/cross)
make MACHINE=hp700 MACHINE_ARCH=hppa \
	"AS=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/as" "CC=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/cc" \
	"CPP=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/cpp" "LD=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/ld" \
	"AR=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/ar" "STRIP=$cross/hppa/usr/strip" \
	"LORDER=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/lorder" "NM=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/nm" \
	"RANLIB=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/ranlib" "SIZE=$cross/hppa/usr/bin/size"


One will have a boot/obj/boot.lif file to boot then.




It would be nice to have more cards for 712/80, or any other hppa
systems (or cards for them), as well as docs (esp for PDC).
