I have just acquired a Multia and it took me some RTFM'ing before I found
(IIRC in the debian-alpha archive) that I have to use the "noname" disks
for this subarchitecture.

Would it be possible to provide images with the label "multia" or at least
symlink those to noname?  AFAIK the multia's are one of the most
widespread alphas.

Cheers,
