>Description:
The port of NetBSD to the "hp700" architecture lacks convenient booting options; there is no possibility of booting via floppy and using the CD, nor is the ISO itself bootable. This renders NetBSD/hp700 unusable if there is no possibility of network boot.
>How-To-Repeat:
Obvious.
>Fix:
Obvious.

State-Changed-Why:
I've have hacked together support for booting from CD. I just need
to clean it up before I commit.

If you require a bootable CD in the mean time please let me know.
