But perhaps I haven't been clear, I'm not able to boot from the install CD, so I haven't been able to install anything yet.... So, since the CD won't boot, I can't get into the next 'level', and that would be the aboot.... Greetings, Angelo Helge Kreutzmann wrote:

Should work. Can you please post the entrie output of this command? As I understand, you already installed, and want to boot from the hard disk?How do I get at the aboot prompt???? Like I said, I'm very new at the Alpha and I gotit last friday, and I haven't read all of the User's Guide yet :)In a nutshell: SRM -> aboot -> Linux (Similarly to BIOS->grub->Linux). If you boot with -fl "0" then aboot uses the 0th entry in its aboot.conf, with -fl "i" you get a command line where you can either boot a predefined entry or somthing else. Greetings Helge
