I cannot comment on this possibility.  However, my job is to help
provide the Alpha user with sufficient information so that (a) they
know whether their architecture is supported by the boot-floppies, and
(b) know what boot images they should use, any special instructions
for SRM or MILO, etc.

You can help me by answering this question:

 + does the information at
   http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/alpha/rh52-hardware-alpha-3.html
   help you out?  Should I provide something like that in teh
   boot-floppies package?
