Hey, that's great. I checked in our alpha subarch stuff (it's just really
the old stuff a bit cleaned up) in CVS this afternoon. The next TODO items
for Alpha are:

* fixing the alphaspecific bootfloppies bugs
* make harddisk bootable and make rescue floppy 
* boot from CDROM
* update the Alpha documentation

If you're tackling the second issue that would be great. Could you discuss
your ideas with Flynn Marquardt <flynn@isr.uni-stuttgart.de> ? He's done
a lot of work and testing with our Alpha boot-floppies setup and has got a 
couple of ideas for the boot issues too.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Greetings,
