My understanding is that this is at least it part due to the SRM console not supporting them. Linux MILO does, however. Does anyone know if it is possible to boot NetBSD/Alpha from IDE using Linux MILO, or whether there is another way? Or does something need to be done to the kernel? Any info appreciated! Thanks Karl
