This is my etc/aboot.conf, all the "default" stuff is there but
commented out mainly so I can run it similar to grub on i386.

in my SRM console I have these vars set like this:
set auto_action boot
set boot_osflags 2
my SRM defaults booting from : dka0
(can't remember the var name)
my "/" partition == /dev/sda3 and is ext2
(really ext3, the journal was added after install)
my "/boot" partition == /dev/sda2 and is ext2
For the record, I hate the symlink to the kernel cruft. I believe if you
have enough ability to get Debian on Alpha (especially using using tftp
booting if you do) you don't need to have it.
