Hi:

I am trying to install 4.0-RELEASE on an AlphaServer 1000.
I already downloaded the boot floppies, I even reach the initial
installation screen when I boot from the floppies but my hard drive is
not recognized

I tried to do my homewoork searching the list, I found a cuple of
similar questions but I could not find an answer posted.

I read about having to spin the hard drive to be recogized but I did not
find how. I also read in the HARDWARE.TXT file that the kernel needs
"options         DEC_1000A" but I do not know how to do it at boot time

I have installed a couple of FreeBSD on Intel but it is my first Alpha,
I have no other Alpha experience

Thanks a lot

Santiago Zapata
