Hi my name is Carl Parrish. I'm not really new to Linux but I guess you could say I'm new to Debian and *really* new to Alpha. I typically would lurk for a few days before posting a "please help me" message. but I'm pretty stuck and need help fast.
I've just recently got a AlphaPC 164SX. It looks like I have access to ARBIOS and MILO but not srm. I have the Alpha-Debian disk1 image burned on a CD-ROM (did the md5sum). put the CD-ROM in restarted the computer......Nothing. So I did a little background reading (RTFM). Came up with lots of info for srm but since I can't seem to find srm didn't help me much. So I went into Milo after much trial and erro tried the following command. 'boot hdc:boot/linux -t iso9660' and suddenly it actually seemed to try to boot from the CD-ROM (or at least the closest I've come so far.) But then it stops and I get the following error Kernal Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 So any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Carl P.
