Thanks, that was it. It's working now. If someone has similar problems, I can confirm that this combination works for me: - Debian Sarge ISO NetInst snapshot 20050430 - Alpha XL300 with AlphaBIOS 5.70 - MILO (xlt) from woody release - boot hd: "boot sda2:/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 initrd=/initrd.img" - boot netinst cd: "boot sr0:/boot/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=16384 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram devfs=mount,dall" Thank you very much! martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
