It also has a number of other nifty features as well.  For one, the boot
loader is specific to both hardware as well as kernel revision.  This is,
imho, just a tad inconvenient.  It also lacks a number of other nice things
such as a serial console and the ability to boot diskless.  Oh, I almost
forgot--you can't even reboot on our machines.. it requires a hard reset.

Using AlphaBIOS and/or MILO completely sucks..  A few pages in memory is not
_that_ stiff a price to pay.
