Greetings,

You are right on the money Ramon -- thanks.
I read the manual, and took it a bit too seriously.. ;)

So, to summarise (without quoted printables):

    - there's a typo in Section 1.3 of the RedHat 5.2 alpha booklet
      with identifier `AlphaAdd-5.2-HTML-RHS (10/98)'
      The following SRM boot line worked for me at least:

        boot -file vmlinux.gz -flags "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1"

    - the floppy driver can cope with 1.44mb floppies fine

It would be kind of cute to be able to have a combined kernel+ramdisk
image that could be slurped onto the machine using bootp/tftp.

regards
        aidan
