Ahh, finally --- I've been able to get the 30r6 iso to install. What fixed it was repartioning the scsi hd. I had originally partioned it with the Compaq Alpha Jumpstart disk, and there must have been something wrong there, because it couldn't seem to write the files to it properly, although the messages seemed more like the problem was the cdrom. Now, if I could just get it to install a truly "minimal" install. Tasksel sux. All I want to use this multia for is a router/firewall/wifi access point, and hopefully run it eventually from an ide cf card, but so far the install seems to want to install waaay too much stuff.
