root + rescue disks

[Danny Heap <dannyhp@pop.web.net>]

Hi.  I am setting up an alpha with a 21164 processor.  The vendor
(Microway) installs RedHat Linux on this machine, but I mean to install
Debian.

I've set up AlphaBios with an alternate boot from the floppy drive.  I
assume that I now need a boot and rescue disk, but it's not clear to me
by cat-ing /proc/cpuinfo (see below) which this should be (LX164 or
EB64).  Do I also need a new MILO (the one with the machine was compiled
against 2.0.30, but boots 2.0.34)?

I have attached the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo.  Thanks for any advice.
