Sorry If I am replying in the wrong way, I tried to understand how
these lists work but I always seem to get it wrong.

Hi, and thanks for the inte3resting discussion.

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

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,
