Hmm. That could be. My system has 3 disks in it. I know for a fact that when I had tried to install FreeBSD/alpha and gotten the "can't find init" error on one occasion I had VMS on one disk, NT on one disk and Linux on one of the disks. On another occasion it had NetBSD, NT and Linux and also got the error. Never tried or thought to selectively try to see which ones cause the error. NT/DOS doesn't as that is how I finally got it installed -- by going into arc and running NT and formatting all my disks to NTFS & DOS system and then going to SRM and installing FreeBSD. Could it be that having an SRM bootstrap on a disk is enough to cause the error ?
