HP-UX versions support - 64 bit -machine C3700 booting issue

[old-hpux]

I see that machine C3700 support has been added,
using -machine C3700, using a HP-UX 11.11 CD, it will load the INSTALL file, but does a Kernel panic:

SOFT Booted.

ISL Revision A.00.43 Apr 12, 2000

I've tried 11.23 and 11.31 and both give this error during:

@hdeller I'm not sure how to assign this to someone for visibility ?

It seems you used a wrong set of install-CDs.
Even on my physical HP C3700 I can verify exactly this panic when using the wrong install CDs.

According to https://www.openpa.net/systems/hp-visualize_b1000_c3000_c3600.html
you NEED to use HP-UX 11i-v1.
HP-UX 11.23 or 11.31 don't support the C3700 machines any longer as it was deprecated for those operating system versions.

I do have a set of 4 CDs for HP-UX v11.11 here, when mounted on Linux the files and directories are dated September 6th 2005.
This set does boot and install, but will crash later when run with qemu.
So, current status is that you won't be able to run 64-bit HP-UX yet with qemu version 9.1.0, even if you use the correct installation media.
