I'm trying to get NetBSD up on an Alpha Multia that I recently
got.  I've copied the rz25 image to the disk, but I don't know
how to boot from the disk.  I've tried the obvious commands, but
none of them have worked.  I know this is a basic question, but
I got no documentation with the Multia.  How do I boot NetBSD
on the Multia?  Thanks.
