Thank you, it works perfectly. We hadn't see that (debian) milo was on the
rescue, stupid boys ...
But for our defence : the "Debian ALPHA Installation HOWTO" talks
about a "milo.dd" floppy
(http://www.bard.org.il/~marc/html/DebAlphaHOWTO.html/ch-Procedure.html,
or http://beezer.med.miami.edu:8080/alpha/docs/nano-HOWTO.html/ch4.html),
and the "Install Manual for Alpha" from Debian is not very up to date.
(Yes, I know everyone can contribute to help ...)
