Subject:   SRM won't bootstrap kern.flp on my 164LX

Hi Alpha gurus,

I hope you can help with my problem, it is probably a FAQ but I didn't
find the answer easily.

I am trying to install 3.2-RELEASE on an 164LX board, but I'm not
getting very far. When I try to boot kern.flp from the SRM console I get:

>>>boot dva0
(boot dva0.0.0.0.0 -flags 0)
block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.0 is a valid boot block
reading 14 blocks from dva0.0.0.0.0
bootstrap code read in
base = 5e2000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1c00
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 5d4000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code

Here it just hangs. The floppy light comes on but I think this is bogus.

The board has 512Mb installed.

I am not at all familiar with SRM, having only just installed it. Is
there some documentation for it? Do I need to tell it anything other
than just ``boot dva0''?

Many thanks,

/.J
