Yes, after verification, the kernel on the CD itself is Intel 80386 by the file command... :( I feel so dumb. The problem is that I only have a 28.8 kbps access here... It will take years to download the damn image.. And the box itself is not linked to the net. Only local. Nevermind.. My friend will make another one prompto! :) Thanks again, and sorry for the stupid questions..

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?
