There's a few things that could have gone wrong that might result in what you're seeing: - You installed on a disk with an fdisk table (eg root is da0s1a and not da0a) -- You cannot use fdisk slices on alpha boot disks. - You accidentally managed to install with i386 and not alpha distribution sets --- there are separate CDs for x86 and alpha - Your loader got clobbered or otherwise corrupted. The easiest thing to try is copying the /boot/loader file from the boot floppy into /boot/loader in your root partition.
