Check out the compaq Support forums, they are very helpful there. I have
found the following, which may prove useful.

Believe it or not we found tech support at Compaq to be pretty helpful.
We bought a couple of compaq 3000s at a bankruptcy auction and between
the smartstart software, a redhat 6.0 cd and a web page that the tech
support guy sent us to we were up and running on both machines in a few
hours.
I'll ask my partner in the morning if he still has the link, but you
might give compaq a call. I could not believe how knowledgeable the
tech I spoke to was. Maybe luck, I don't know we have had no problems
to have to get back to them.
