Report + Anyone got Linux installed on an Alpha with SRM console?

[sam_o@juno.com (Sam M Oubari)]

Thanks to Ryan's page at http://www.mindspring.com/~ccsf-lug/AS200.htm, I
was able to install a base "hamm" system but had to switch to ARC console
first.  I like SRM because it allows console to be on serial a port.  For
my latest try for SRM I did the following:

>>> boot dva0	- which has RAWRITE of
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader/v2.0/latest/AlphaStation
200/milo.dd


MILO> boot fd0:vmlinux.gz "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1"

which has RAWRITE of
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/disks-alpha/1997-08-12/resc1440.bin.avanti-s

It freezes at:

"... ...turning on virtual addressing and jumping to the Linux Kernel"

and never gets to point of asking for the root-image disk.

Any ideas?   Thanks.   Sam.

System Spec:
	DEC-AlphaStation-200(Mustang/Avanti Family)
	CPU=21064A
	SCSI=Builtin-ncr53c7
	RAM=16M Parity
	HD=SEAGATE ST1480 (~420M?)
