I've been trying to upgrade from RH 7.1 to a more recent distribution that supports alpha, so I've been trying a Debian alpha chroot network install.
I ran into a problem running the "base-config" script where it would just say "Terminated" and do nothing else. Turns out script was complaining because none of the pty devices were created. I also was missing ide devices. After I just ran MAKEDEV for pty and ide things seem to be proceeding ok. Is there some extra step I missed? I was following the docs under the section, "3.7 Installing Debian GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux System". Allen --
