Hi all,

I couldn't get the alpha to net boot off the linux system. I've no idea 
why. As noted, there wasn't even an indication of any traffic to the 
tftp port. I think this would at least indicat that the BOOTREPLY from 
the linux dhcp server has been correctly decoded.

In the end I made three boot floppies. This worked. Installation was 
made via NFS mount.
