I want to install FreeBSD on an DEC Alpha 4/166. Can somebody inform me how I can make this sucker boot from the floppy to start the FreeBSD installation. I have installed FreeBSD on a couple PC's but am pretty new to the Alpha environment. I have created the bootable disk using fdimage, plugged this disk in the system, entered boot dva0 the system then tries to access the floppy, and returns: block 0 of dva0 is not a valid boot block bootstrap failure Any help would be appreciated.
