Re: Linux on an 8 CPU Alpha

[Matthew Jacob <mjacob feral com>]

I haven't installed on an 8-cpu, but I did install on a 4-way rawhide (RH
6.2) with, for once, relatively little grief.

The key thing to try and do is to make sure (with SRM) that the Linux disk is
the first SCSI disk (dk0). Your day ends unhappily otherwise.
