Hi
 I have an alphaserver 2100a that is having an issue with the 1.6 install
kernel, as listed below

VMS PAL rev: 0x4000300010114
OSF PAL rev: 0x4000100020116
Switch to OSF PAL code succeeded.

Boot flags: A

I noticed the call for tester that Jason put out in June 2000, so I believe
it is supported (although not in the netbsd/alpha page), and for what it is
worth, I was able to boot openvms to get to the install shell.

Attached is what I get when the system boots.
