I get length error - halting There are no instructions, so I have no idea why I can't get it to boot. There are no MILO images, so do I assume that they are expecting SRM console? My Alpha is ARC based. The release notes say, "if this doesn't work for you, send me hate mail ;-)" Are Alphas even made anymore? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
