Hi, Compaq Alpha DS10, 1 x SCSI HDD (dsk0) with root on /dsk0a.
I am trying to overwrite my Tru64 install with a fresh copy of debian. I am not multi-booting and would like to use all the available space on dsk0 for the Debian install. I have a couple of questions. 1) Should I destroy the existing tru64 disklabel for dsk0? 2) If yes how? Do I boot into Tru64 and use disklabel? or is there a way from the SRM? FYI my first attempt at booting from the CD failed, and the install hanged at the point below but I suspect this might have something to do with there not being a partition available. TIA.
