Your kernel needs to be installed as /boot/kernel/kernel.ko, I think. I really hate that boot loader change. If your kernel is really in /, try "/KERNEL" instead. I also think you might want to add rock-ridge to the ISOFS image. I think the problem you are seeing is due to the Alpha boot not doing the same thing that the x86 boot does (fake up a RAM-disk floppy image, from which the /kernel in the image is loaded, and the resulting system then understands rock-ridge). I don't think that anything short of doing this is going to get you booted very easily... though an obvious quick hack would be to case fold everything to upper case, which would be enough to get your kernel loaded. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
