I think you mean 'RISC chip' ... and there is a cdimage for ubuntu server to do just that:

For Server:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-server-hppa.iso

For alternate install:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-hppa.iso

That should work

Is there any instructions on the setup

What exactly are you trying to setup? Since it's a HP 9000, i will assume you're not going for a desktop install, but rather a server.

What sort of server are you installing? What kind of disk do you have, etc?

Basically, you should be able to burn the cd, and boot off it. From there, the install picks default values that should work, unless you need to customize them

The full details of the server install are here:
