The image could be configured to give this parameter automagically. 2) aboot seems to require a recent firmware. The d-i image aboot worked fine, but the installed aboot crashed very early (before displaying any message). After upgrading the firmware to the latest version (http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/archive/xp1000.html), the installed aboot worked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
