Hi all,
Hopefully this is the correct mailing list for this question.
I have an AlphaServer 800 that was running OpenVMS and Red Hat Linux. I
would like to remove those operating systems and use NetBSD.
I have read the FAQ, the install docs, and looked through the mail list
archives.
I have tried versions 1.4 and 1.5, and the bootable cd iso of version 1.5.
When I insert the first floppy disk, and boot DVA0, everything seems to go
ok. The system then prompts for the second floppy disk.
At that point, I get this message:
open 0:1/vmlinuz-2.2.17-4:No such file or directory
boot failed! Halting.
The system then halts.
I have the latest SRM console installed. I get the exact same error
message when using the CDROM drive.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Novak
