i don't believe that you can have a 3mega floppy disk on alpha... ia64
has ls120 floppy disk..

True... but with the 2.4 kernel it just won't fit in the 1.5Mb image...

anyway, nowadays most systems are installed  booted from CDrom /
harddisk...

 ia64 has ls120 floppy disk..
ls120 = IDE? If so, someone  with screwdriver skills could probably fit
one into an alpha...

I had a similar issue when trying to install cooker via tftp for sparc.  
Maybe this script mod would work for me as well?

Good luck to me...
