I was gonna say, I thought the Multia SRM wasn't capable of booting linux - I had to use ARC/MILO, which really isn't a big deal.
Multia SRM is perfectly capable of booting Linux ... as well as Free/Net/OpenBSD.

Hello there. I am currently running a 166 Alpha Multia, and not using SRM.
I'm using ARC and went through the aches and pains of that, instead.
If I understand Multias correctly (I'm a total newbie to Linux AND Alphas) I'd say that the Multia won't boot directly from an EXT2 partition, period.
You have to create a FAT partition (the Multia can read directly from FAT or from ISO9660 only), and you have to point the firmware to the partition, where Milo and the "noname" file live.
