Is it a 1000 or a 1000a?  It is my understanding that Linux will not run
on the "A" servers.  All of my Alpha 1000s are the A's.

Has anybody installed 5.0 on an AlphaServer 1000 4/266?

I finally got the right kernel images from the DEC FTP site, can
boot the floppies, but have a problem mounting the root filesystem.

Linux kernel panics when trying to mount /dev/fd0.

I mount from the DEC UNIX prompt with:

>>> boot dva0 -fl i

at the 'aboot> ' prompt I type:

aboot> vmlinux.gz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1

It probes all the devices and works all the way to where I kernel
panic trying to mount FS.

Any ideas or experiences are appreciated...
