i got the motherboards a while back, and finally got all the bits
together to build it.  i installed the srm console stuff, and
downloaded some floppy images from

   ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/alpha/snapshot/20000620-1.5/

but it won't boot.  it seems to read in the whole first floppy (the
stepper motor in the floppy drive clicks about 80 times), but never
does anything else, or asks for a different floppy.  the light doesn't
go off either.

i've tried replacing both the drive and the disk, and tried some older
boot floppies, but it still doesn't wanna go anywhere.

help?  please?
