hppa Admin Notes
These are various notes mainly targeted at people administrating Gentoo dev machines, although most things are probably generally useful. These are not general "how do I administrate a Gentoo box" notes.

Hostnames
These are the current systems we have available. See machine specific notes at bottom for more details.

Kernel Management
hppa systems use the palo tool from the package to manage booting of kernels. Things to remember:


 * Make updates to.
 * Run  whenever  is changed or kernels referred to by the config file are updated (failure to do so will break booting).
 * The bootable linux kernel is created at (e.g. under ).
 * The  shortcut usually does not do the right thing under hppa.

/etc/palo.conf
--commandline=2/vmlinux root=/dev/sda3 panic=3 --init-partitioned=/dev/sda

--recoverykernel=/boot/vmlinux.ok
