I wrote those linux-tools in 1995 if I remember correctly. I never had to
create lif-files under linux, we only had to read them. (I for myself have
more than enough HP-boxes with floppies and lif-utils working). It shouldn't
be that big problem to write a lifinit for linux to. I'll look for some
spare time to do it.

If you can login remotely use setmon to set the monitor type to something
useful.

I think they came out nearly at the same time. But the HP150 disks started
sector counting with 1 when IBM used sector 0. So there was no way to
exchange disks between both systems, even when they both used the same DOS
version.
Btw. if there is no other way I could go downstairs and try to reanimate my
200/300 HP systems with their floppy drives. In those elder days I installed
both HP-UX and basic on the same system and used the HP-UX to transfer the
files (until I wrote those linux utils).
