Just a quick note on the harddisk choice. I've been thoroughly unable to
get SRM to recognize the SCSI disks in my PWS's. And since I have no IDE
disks in them, I have to use AlphaBIOS + Milo to boot.

If anyone know how/if it is possible to get SRM on a PWS to detect SCSI
drives, I would really like to know. The setup for AlphaBIOS is a bit
cumbersome.
