I'm stuck on a problem, and hopefully some of the more-experienced Alpha folk here can help. I've come into an AlphaStation 250 4/266, and would like to run FreeBSD on it. It's got two SCSI disks in it, that show up as DKA0 and DKA300 in the SRM BIOS, and a CD at DKA400. With the 4.3-RELEASE Alpha ISO image, I can "boot DKA400" and get into the installer. The install goes great, I make my filesystem on the DKA300 disk, and install away. After the installer is finished, the system halts back to the >>> prompt. Here's where it gets frustrating. When I do "boot DKA300" from the SRM BIOS, it finds a valid boot block, loads it, tries to load /boot/loader, and then dies with a "can't find /boot/loader" error. What am I doing wrong here?
