There's no time to do anything, it just explodes. I stupidly updated an Alpha box, and now I'm getting the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas for recovering it, other than trying to netboot it off another box? (I don't have any other Alpha boxes I could put the disk into, and DEC Unix on that machine doesn't seem to want to boot for some reason.) I actually saved the working loader as /boot/loader.works, but using the -file option to SRM's boot command doesn't seem to work.
