hmm... lets see... how are you booting netbsd/alpha? using the boot floppy for
netbsd 1.3.2/alpha? give us a few more details.
and as with all floppy disks i would try grabbing a new one, formating it and
dd'ing the image again... i have had many a headache due to bad floppies..

Ha! I figured it out. I had to do the bios update in the alpha bios and
then type
update fw -path srm_fw
and it worked.
Now I am booting Netbsd/Alpha....
Loading boot: unknown executable format
Boot failed! Halting...
halt code = 5
HALT instruction executed
PC=20004040

Well, I am getting closer.
