MILO has a whole bunch of interesting issues which I remember encountering
while installing Linux on an AlphaXL (one of the machines crippled to be a
Windows box only, and hence doesn't run SRM). If your machine supports it
(and I think all of them will apart from the XL series), I'd put SRM on
instead.
In fact that's what I'm about to do with another alpha I just inherited :)
