From looking at the Alpha boot1 code, it seems that the bootstrap expects there to be a filesystem which starts at the beginning of the disk, and it finds "/boot/loader" (or whatever filename you type in) there. So, for example, it wouldn't work to put a swap partition first on the disk. Is that right?
