I am trying to install a Debian Linux for Alpha v3.0
rel 4 on my AlphaPC 164LX, 21164 600MHz processor,
256MB RAM, AlphaBIOS 5.70
Here are the steps I did:
rawrite milo_164lx.bin to floppy
rawrite rescue.bin to floppy
rawrite root.bin to floppy
boot milo from alphabios
boot linux.gz from milo with ramdisk
configure keyboard
partition SCSI hard disk into sda1 dos 16-bit fat
<32m, sda5 / linux, sda6 swap linux swap
initialize and mount partition sda6 as swap
initialize and mount partition sda5 as /
install kernel and driver modules from CD
configure network
install base system from CD
At the completion of the install base system, I tried
to make the system bootable to the dos partition and
it does not work, then I tried to mount the sda1 as
msdos and copy milo and linload.exe and does not work
either.
Need help to mount this sda1 as dos so I can copy the
boot files onto it.
Need help to install all other packages on Debian CDs.
Any help or sugestion will be appreciated.
