I didn't manage to boot an AlphaServer 1000 using the 1.4.2_ALPHA
bootfloppies. I managed to boot an almost identical machine last
week using the same floppies, so this came as a bit of a surprise.
Does anyone know how to proceed with the problem? Would -current
perhaps help?

boot sequence below:

>>>boot dva0
(boot dva0.0.0.0.1 -flags a)
block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.1 is a valid boot block
reading 15 blocks from dva0.0.0.0.1
bootstrap code read in
base = 12e000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1e00
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 120000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU                                       
jumping to bootstrap code
