I recently aquired (getting tossed at work) an Alpha axp150 CPU & monitor, 
and was trying to get NetBSD booted on it (it has WindozeNT on it right 
now)...  I'm having some problems and was wondering:

1)  I switched to the right loader, but does it matter whether the OS_TYPE 
flag is set to OSF or VMS???

2)  I created the two floppies on my PC, and put the 1st one in the Alpha 
drive (it happens to be a 2.88M floppy drive).  It accesses the drive on a 
cold boot, and accesses it if I do a "SHOW DEV", and does show me the 
floppy... but if I try to do a "BOOT DVA0", I get an "84 FAIL" message (and 
the floppy never seems to get accessed, like its not even trying).  
Suggestions/Ideas?

SRM version is 1.6.  I'm downloading "Nero" as we speak, and I'm going to try 
and burn a CD of the "cdhd" image to see if I can boot it that way, but it 
would be nice to know I can floppy boot it.
