The currently unproven *possibility* of making a mess by multi-booting an alpha PSW is, at best, a rare corner case that most people will never face -assuming the issue actually exists. I seriously doubt people are installing WinNT4 on alpha these days but the folks running linux through AlphaBIOS who want to dual-boot with OpenBSD might have a problem. I'll look into it further and prove it either way; mainly because data/disk loss sucks. Only if the problem turns out to be real, would a small FAQ warning/pointer be appropriate and even then, the info should really be in the INSTALL.alpha file. kind regards, jcr
