Re:
My understanding is that install images are heavily
customized per machine
at the secret HP MPE bunker, although someone will surely correct me if
wrong. A CSLT would be the best install image, but you obviously don't
have one.
No, they're *much* less customized than on most machines.
Indeed, one should be able to boot just about any PA-RISC
HP 3000 from a CSLT made from any other PA-RISC HP 3000 ...
although you might have know enough to get past radical
differences in I/O configuration (which is possible to do!) :)
That said, "CSLT" stands for "Customized System Load Tape" ...
so you might be getting software you (a) don't want;
and (b) didn't pay for.
