From what I have seen, it appears that IDE drives are not supported on
Alpha, is this correct?  My understanding is that this is at least it
part due to the SRM console not supporting them.  Linux MILO does,
however.  Does anyone know if it is possible to boot NetBSD/Alpha from
IDE using Linux MILO, or whether there is another way?  Or does
something need to be done to the kernel?  Any info appreciated! Thanks
