How can one tell apart a I386 CDROM from a Alpha one? I got this one from a friend, and maybe he could have downloaded the wrong image, as I could not boot straight from the CD. Given that you're getting a syntax error when running binaries, it is very likely that you have the i386 CD. Can you burn your own CD from the iso image? Or install via the network?
