(If this doesn't classify as 'expert', then I dunno....) I'm trying to install the Alpha version onto a DEC Alphastation 4000 (twin processor, 512-meg RAM, 3 x SCSI cards, Storageworks array, 2 x NICs), using the floppy images (this box doesn't boot from a CD-ROM), but each time it halts after the second insertion of the root floppy (seq = root floppy, RAM disk, root floppy), with a 'please try passing an init=' message at the end. Has anybody any advice on what parameter to feed to the kernel, and how to do this from the SRM console at boot time? The alphalinux.org doesn't seem to be up at the moment, so please don't point me there!! TIA
