I'm having some trouble getting HP-UX up and running on a PA-RISC workstation I picked up at VCFW a couple years back. In brief, I'm using what I've found listed as the "HP-UX 10.20 (2000-03) S800 Install and Core OS" disc image. This boots into the install environment just fine, but runs into a couple snags with the swinstall process. First off, it seems to misidentify the workstation (a Visualize C200) as a 32-bit system, since its internal model ID matches "9000/7**" - but I can work around that by editing the configuration file. However, past that, the swinstall agent conks out during the analysis phase, whether I run it in interactive mode or just tell it to use the defaults. Looking through the resulting logs, it looks like the checkinstall script for pretty much every package is freaking out when they try to check for available disk space using du and df, which for some reason aren't present in the install environment.
The whole thing is very odd - I wonder if I'm doing something wrong, but it seems like what I have should be the correct install disc. Can anyone offer some advice on this? I'm about ready to pull my hair out here... :/
