To boot from SRM, you need a disk that has "disk labels" instead of a
DOS partition blocks, so this isn't that easy. If you have two disks,
you can prepare it with a disk label and copy over your root file
system. See also http://www.linuxalpha.org/faq/srm.html. You can only
boot from disks where youn installed the aboot loader previously.

After you boot SRM the first time, you will have to hit enter a few
times at the blue screen to get a prompt, and then do "set console
graphics", because the SRM is shipped defaulting to serial console.
