Installing on an Alpha XL 300

[Adam Mercer <ramercer@gmail.com>]

Hi

A while ago I posted that I was trying to install Debian on an old
Alpha XL 300 and was told, on this list, that I would have to install
Woody and then update. I have obtained the appropriate boot material,
a boot floppy and CD and am now trying to start the installer.

I have been trying to following the instructions at
<http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/alpha/install.en.html> but
cannot figure out how to boot into the installer. Does anyone have any
experience with installing Debian on an Alpha XL 300 that could offer
and help or advice?

Cheers

Adam
