Hello,

I have a DEC AlphaStation 400 4/233 which I'm trying to
install NetBSD/alpha 1.3F.

This is my first NetBSD install and I'm not familiar with
the Alpha, so it reasons I would get stuck right away. :-)

I'm trying to boot from the floppy.

I'm using the SRM Console.

I'm guessing the floppy device is dva0.

Is this the correct device for the floppy?

When I attempt to boot from dva0, the boot fails with
the following messsage: "failed to open dva0.0.0.0.0.1"

Any ideas?
