Hi,
I have another Alpha question.  On an AlphaStation 400 with SRM V6.7-2,
when I try to boot from the CDROM, it finds a valid boot block, but then
fails.

I presume I have the right device:
>>>show device
dka0.0.0.6.0               DKA0                          RZ26L  442D
dka200.2.0.6.0             DKA200                     RZ28L-AS  0654
dka400.4.0.6.0             DKA400                        RRD43  1084

dka0 and dka200 are hdd's, so dka400 must be the CDROM (the DEC labels
are cryptic to me).

so I do
>>>boot dka400 -file '' -flags ''

and get
(boot dka400.4.0.6.0 -file '' -flags '')
block 0 of dka400.4.0.6.0 is a valid boot block
reading 370 blocks from dka400.4.0.6.0
bootstrap code read in
base = 1f2000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 2e400
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 1e4000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code

halted CPU 0

halt code = 2
kernel stack not valid halt
PC = 4               


This is a CD burned from the 4.4-install.iso image.  I burned it on a
Linux box with cdrecord.

Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong?  I was following the
installation procedure from the handbook (2.3.1.2, "Booting for the
Alpha").  :)

Thanks,
Eric
