Hi Keith From http://www.alphalinux.org I found those instructions, which worked for my machine (Digital Server 7000R):
set bootdef_dev "dkb0" Sets the boot device set boot_file "1/vmlinux" Sets which file to boot from set boot_action "boot" Sets the boot action to autoboot set boot_osflags "root=/dev/sda1" Tells the kernel where root is set auto_action boot Auto boot I know it seems it's a double definition...but usually when things work, people do not care about it no more...:-) Try it. Greetings, Adrian.
