Ok, at work i've tryed several things. With the following mehtod, i can boot from disk and change the rootdevice to the scsi disk after loading the kernel: >>> boot dva0 - flags n [ booting kernel ] and after booting the kernel i must insert the rootdevice ( -n flag) ufs:da0a and he boots from my scsi drive. but the problem is, how can i automatize the boot-process? a) normaly the alpha-machin boots with "boot dva0" how can i add the flag? b) how can i set the rootdev static to da0a ?
