Hi there,

Now that I could compile -current/alpha successfully I had to reshuffle
my diskpartitioning on the NoName. This I did using an older (Oct 22 or so)
Netbsd install flop. I subsequently installed a binary FreeBSD (also an old
one, the same rev that I used to build -current).

After that all worked, I mounted the -current obj tree using NFS and did
a make installworld. Went OK.

But unfortunately booting is now a NO-NO:

>>>boot -fi kernel.GENERIC
(boot dka100.1.0.6.0 -file kernel.GENERIC -flags A)
block 0 of dka100.1.0.6.0 is a valid boot block
reading 15 blocks from dka100.1.0.6.0
bootstrap code read in
base = 110000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1e00
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 102000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code

NetBSD/Alpha Primary Boot
Jumping to entry point...

halted CPU 0

halt code = 5
HALT instruction executed
PC = 200017dc        
>>>

I have the distinct feeling (somehow ;-) that I need to re-install the boot
blocks/bits but I seem to be too dim to get it right. 

Pointers on a how-to appreciated,

Wilko
