If you are planning to run Linux on a standard Alpha based system, then there are pre-built "standard" Milo images that you might use. These (along with the sources and other interesting stuff) can be found in ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader .
The images
subdirectory contains a directory per standard system
(eg AlphaPC64) with Milo images having the following naming convention:
milo
- Miniloader executable image, this image can be loaded in a
variety of ways,fmu.gz
- Flash management utility,milo.dd
- Boot block floppy disk image.
These should be written using rawrite.exe or dd
on Linux.The test-images
, like the images
subdirectory
contains a directory per standard system. These images are somewhat
experimental but tend to contain all the latest features.
