Sounds like you gave the wrong instructions to palo, the official
debian-cd scripts do
palo --commandline="0/vmlinux root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk" \
--recoverykernel=CD1/dists/$CODENAME/main/disks-hppa/current/32/linux \
--recoverykernel=CD1/dists/$CODENAME/main/disks-hppa/current/64/linux \
--bootloader=CD1/install/iplboot \
--ramdisk=CD1/dists/$CODENAME/main/disks-hppa/current/root.bin \
--init-cdrom=$CDIMAGE --configfile=/dev/null
The 0.9.2 CD wasn't made with debian-cd, but it was done pretty
much the same way. In the top level of the CD you should find a
iso.conf file (iirc), containing
--commandline=0/vmlinux root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk
--recoverykernel=debian/dists/sid/main/disks-hppa/current/32/linux
--recoverykernel=debian/dists/sid/main/disks-hppa/current/64/linux
--bootloader=boot/iplboot
--ramdisk=debian/dists/sid/main/disks-hppa/current/root.bin
--init-cdrom=../cd.iso
so you might use that with 'palo --configfile=mkiso.conf'
