Floppy images worked well on my AXPpci 33, though MILO versions other than 2.0.35-c7b have never liked my Alpha. MILO 2.2-18 configured and built by myself is really close to working. Precompiled MILO 2.2-17 and 2.2-18 from http://www.suse.de/~stepan/ boot and initialize the graphics adapter but keyboard does not respond since stream of random characters comes from somewhere else than keyboard. That scrolls by endlessly...
My own MILO 2.2-18 binary freezes after spinning up the first harddisk. On the screen it says "Spinning up disk..." but it never notices that the disk has started spinning and no more than three dots appear. On normal Linux or working MILO dots appear on screen until the disk is ready. So, I still have to use MILO 2.0.35-c7b on first floppy drive (fail-safe boot floppy setup) and kernel (Linux 2.4.18 at the moment) on second floppy drive to boot. Now I have got newer basedebs.tar to download and see if it gets me all the way through on new Debian woody install. -- "pienena / Paavo "Rainbow Rat" Hartikainen minusta / E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tulee / URL: http://www.sci.fi/~pahartik/ rotta" / EFnet: pahartik at #Atari and #LionKing
