I doubt there are such boot floppies. What I do know is that the partition you boot from with aboot (no idea about AlphaBios/Milo) needs to be ext2, but this could probably a small /boot partition. > And, if is not possible, how can i use journaling > filesystems like reiserfs or jfs on my debian server > (It is a production server). Well, a while ago someone managed to run xfs on the alpha. A while ago I tried jfs, but could not get it to work (but this was before it got integrated into the kernel) (yes, I went on the apropriate mailing list, but there were some 64bit issues). About reiserfs I don't know, but I would be cautios with it, but again, I only use ext3. So I guess I would install the system into the "swap" partition (leaving the remaining disk blank) and try to experiment. Or better, if your /usr doest not need journaling (which I assume), simply do a normal install and use lvm, so you can create some "toy" partitions to check the various filesystems out. Other experiences of course wellcome. Helge -- Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
