I hae a DCG 164LX 533MHZ box, running 5.8 SRM, 512MB ram, new PS (530 vs 
230 that came with the box),
ATI 7500 card, 53C875 SCSI interface, and 4 9GB ibm drives.  IDE CD drive.

I have never been able to load NetBSD on it.  I get a boot failure when 
booting from CD.
Yes, I have swapped out KNOWN good drives, cables, and all that.
Same goes for disk drives.  I have built them, or attempted to, on the box,
built them on a different box and hooked them up tothe machine, and they 
just
don't run. Rjun 2 drives, CD and one SCSI,  swapped out the PS, swapped out
the memory, blown dust out of the box, run freebsd on it, works just fine,
and finally, tried  and loaded redhat on it.  7.2 will load and run fine.

Alpha Core 1 will not finish formatting the target drive (does not 
matter what drive,
partition failure stops at /usr.

I can't believe it is the cpu or motherboard, cause 7.2 and Free run on it.
I am getting a little perplexed (well a lot) with why an ISO that boots on
any other system won't boot on this one, even with a known good drive,
cable and PS but other ISOs do. 

Any thoughts? anyone else seen anything like this?
thanks
bob
