I'm grasping at straws here..: Does the alpha install from a single kernel with the root device complied in, or does it load the contents of md0 from the boot loader, or does it mount the cdrom for its root..? I'm wondering if my instructions for him to break into the boot loader to set isp_mem_map=0xff might have prevented the script from loading the contents of md0, thus causing the vfs_conf code to go looking around for a filesystem & finding his netbsd fs?
