I had the same problem with my alphastations which previously ran Linux and Tru64. For future reference it's generally more helpful if you provide more information about a problem, such as a verbose boot output (assuming you are using a serial console and can cut'n'paste). If however your problem is that once you start sysinstall you get: da0: start 0, end 2050859, size 2050860 da0c: start 0, end 4294967295, size 0 da0: raw partition size != slice size da0: start 0, end 2050859, size 2050860 da0c: start 0, end 4294967295, size 0 da0: invalid primary partition table: no magic or something similar then: lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq Message qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk xNo disks found!

I tried doing this from the fixit prompt using the cd but it didn't work. If you still have a *nix os on the disk the boot it up and do: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 count=10 (where da0 is the disk to do). If not, you will need to stick it in another system or find a friend with one. The install went fine after that for me. The machine has been fairy stable in the 3 months I've had it, although it has crashed a couple of times whilst running mysql under heavy load.
