Hello there!
sh dev say for the cdrom: (connected to the NCR0, NCR 53C810 card) dka500.5.0.1.1 DKA500 RRD46 1337
I'm using the netinst CD I got from: http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/
(I got that link from http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/)
How do I get at the aboot prompt???? Like I said, I'm very new at the Alpha and I got it last friday, and I haven't read all of the User's Guide yet :)
Greetings, Angelo

Hello!
I'm totally new on Alpha, but I got this Alphaserver 1200 (one CPU version) and I'm trying to install Debian on it. But after the reboot when I give the command "boot dka500 -flags 0" it returns with the following error-message:
* dka500.5.0.1.1 has no media present or is disabled via the RUN/STOP switch (this message 4 times)
* failed to open dka500.5.0.1.1
What does
show dev
tell you when you are in SRM? Also I recommend during testing to use -fl "i"
and list the available options in aboot.conf via l on the aboot-prompt.
Are you using the new debian-installer or are you using the boot-floppies from woody?
