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? =20

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!
