Subject: How to boot from floppy?
Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG

OK, it's a lame question, but I can't remember any more how to boot
from a floppy on the Alpha.  What is the device name?  "Show device"
lists the 2 SCSI hard drives, the SCSI CD-ROM, an Ethernet card, the
SCSI controller, and "dva0" which I don't recognize.  I tried "boot
dva0", but that just timed out.  The SRM "documentation" is as usual
nearly worthless.

Thanks,
John
