Looking for help getting netbsd running on Jornada 690

I recently bought a hp Jornada 690 for around $60 shortly after learning 
I could run NetBSD on it.
I have read many old guides to get NetBSD running on this device, But I 
keep getting confused and getting nowhere.
I have a cf reader and another computer running Ubuntu that I have been 
using to get files onto the Jornada.

Can someone tell me how to get NetBSD running on this Jornada or link me 
to a guide on the topic?

Thanks

http://www.netbsd.org/ports/hpcsh/howto-use.html

In a nutshell, make a small partition on a CF card which has hpcboot.exe, 
a NetBSD install kernel, and a miniroot.fs. Launch hpcboot.exe, point it 
to the netbsd kernel and miniroot.fs, boot, and run through the NetBSD 
installer.

Re: Looking for help getting netbsd running on Jornada 690

I did everything stated on the page 
http://www.netbsd.org/ports/hpcsh/howto-use.html
I put miniroot.fs , netbsd.gz , and hpcboot.exe on the card and launched 
hpcboot.
However, I do not have a serial cable for my jornada. I continued anyway 
and hit boot.
the system seems to be starting, then stops at the line:

/etc/rc.conf is not configured. multiuser boot aborted.
Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:

I pressed the enter key and "hpckbd: unknown scan code 0x51 (10, 1)
then i realized no matter what key I hit i get that same error wiht 
different values at the end.

Did I do something wrong?

Which "platform" (model) do you select in hpcboot menu?
E.g. "Jornada 690 (US/UK)" &c.

I recall I had some trouble initially that was resolved by getting an 
updated hpcboot from someone off the list.
