Re: Installing to DEC Alpha

Making, drinking tea and reading an opus magnum from Jon Ikegami:

straight from the installation notes:

        At the SRM console prompt, enter
                show device
        to find the device ID of your CD-ROM drive (the device ID is
        usually in the second column (``bootdev'') and should start
        with DKA for a SCSI CD-ROM drive).  If your drive shows up with
        a drive number with trailing zeros, you will want to ignore them
        (unless it is DKA0).  For example, if your CD-ROM drive is listed
        as DKA600, you want to use dka6 (device ID's are case
        insensitive).

        On all MACHINE computers but the TURBOchannel DEC 3000 series,
        insert the OpenBSD/MACHINE CD and enter
                boot -fi 3.2/alpha/bsd.rd DEVICE
        where DEVICE is the dka device name.
