newbie install question: woody on xl 266



Hello;

I've downloaded an iso image from http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/, I can get milo to load, but I'm not sure it can see the files on the scsi cd drive. For example, when I try

MILO> ls sda5:

it lists various NT files and directories (currently on the hard drive)

- or, when I try something like

MILO> boot sda5:/boot/linux

it tells me it can't find the kernel (there is a file at /boot/linux on the cd).

- I've tried following instructions from

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/MILO-HOWTO/load-section.html#ARC-SECTION about loading milo from a floppy, but the same results occur.


- if I try

MILO> show

it returns lots of info, including the statement

MVRAM is not supported on this system



- when I try

MILO> ls -t is09660 sda5:

it tells me

Syntax error: wrong argument count

I apologize for such newbie-ness (I've installed linux on PPC and intel before, but not alpha), I've been through the documentation forwards and backwards; I wonder if anyone could suggest anything at this point ;->


-still excited about debian!
Bill
