I've just burned a fresh copy of the daily netinst CD for alpha, and have no
problems like those reported in 403024. No odd spaces in the root= argument
on the commandline, and no problems booting.
Torben, you also mention having chosen the option to send the console to
ttyS0, which is a serial console, in which case you wouldn't have any
"second console" at all. Did you mean to use a serial console? If not,
please check your boot_osflags variable in SRM, it seems to be set to '1'
which chooses the serial console from the installer CD.
You could also just boot with "boot dkb0 -fl 0" or "boot dkb0 -fl i".
Please let me know if this helps.
Cheers,
