Can I netboot HPPA?

I have a HP/9000 C200 Workstation with no scsi cdrom drive, can I somehow boot this from the network to get Gentoo onto it?

And are there any documents to tell me how to do such a thing..?

I'm working on a netboot patch for catalyst.

This image should work but it's experimental. i'm still debugging the netboot part of catalyst. I hope to release netboot images for 2005.0 (february).

Excellent, I'll have to give this a try when I get home tonight on my Hp 712.

I set up a tftpd server on my openbsd box and netbooted my hp 9000/712 and gentoo came right up. I'm going to try an install now.
