I need some help.
  At work i've have been using linux 7.2 without any problems.  I have a old alpha computer 800 5/333 that has not been use for approx a year.  I have downloaded a copy of linux for alpa server. Burn it to a cd.  then tryed to install that software.  I never play with a alpha server before.  this is what i have done so far. 
 
Boot the machine while the middle button is press.  this brings me to a prompt.
 
i type
boot dka400 -fl 0
the machine reboots.
when the computer beeps i press the middle button again.  this time the computer starts to load linux mandrake for alpha.  when it get the loading second stage ramdisk.  it load approx 1/3 of the way then stops.
 
the computer has the following.
 
alpha server 800 5/33
512 mg of memory
qlogic scsi board
 
any help on loading linux.
 
thanks Bill Nash
