Latest SRM revision, machine is an ex OSF-1 box. System found to function under OSF/1 and linux. There is more info online at: http://www.compaq.com/alphaserver/archive/400/400_tech.html I hope I didn't omit anything too vital. >Description: At SRM, I boot the installer with either: >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to boot the install kernel from SRM... >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: >>> boot dva0 (for floppy boot) or >>> boot dka400 (for CD boot) Kernel and ramdisk are loaded.
