Message-ID: <20040701T211505Z_FFB700000000@mail2.cu-portland.edu> (raw)
I'm working with some of the Alpha sources, and could use a bit of insight. For starters, the bootloader is called "bootalphapc", as opposed to "bootalpha", which leaves me wondering, is this only for AlphaPC-style Alpha systems, or should it work on AlphaServers and the larger systems as well?
Also, is there a technical reason that it must boot from a network, as opposed to from a CD or floppy? After all, the SRM firmware is fully capable of booting from such things...
Thanks in advance!
