For reference, the recipe at:
The recipe at https://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2019/11/msg00033.html
for adding firmware to the install disk did indeed work.
I booted with the modified install disk in the SCSI CD drive and the

My experience with the April 2020 Alpha iso
Booted fine, asked for me to load qlogic/1040.bin on removable media.
I downloaded the deb file for buster, exploded it and copied all the
bin files onto both a floppy and a USB stick. The AlphaServer 1200 has
a USB card in a PCI slot.
Put both the USB

Just recording this simpleton's experience.
I booted the 22 Nov image. AlphaServer1200
It boots fine, but asks for qlogic 1040.bin firmware on removable media.
The system has a PCI card that controls an IDE HDD and an IDE CDRW,
plus a SCSI CDROM (that I boot off) plus a floppy drive plus a PCI
I plan to give it a go if I can find the time. Thanks from me too

Hi, and thanks for the inte3resting discussion.
Yes, the QLOGIC chip seems to be the issue. The Debian 5 installer
works flawlessly. I used full disk not netinstall for that.
I cannot say what would work best for the most people, and thus be
best place to put your efforts, but I do know that the

Sorry If I am replying in the wrong way, I tried to understand how

I have tried to use the Alpha netboot image. It booted very nicely,
