Hello,
  Fedora Installation problems on a Alpha Station 600 5/233.
  I got the files from ftp.maths.monash.edu.au/pub/alphacore

  Burned the fircd CD.
  When I execute the command in SRM mode I get the following error:

  >boot dka400 -fi "kernels/vmlinux.gz" -fl "root=/dev/scd0"

  Jumping to bootstrap code.
  aboot : Linux/alpha SRM boot loader version 0.9b
  aboot : Switching to OSF/1 PAL code version 1.22
  aboot : booting from device "scsi 0 1001 0 4 400 0 0"

  
  iso    : Max size 307827 logzone size : 2048
  iso    : First datazone : 28  Root inode number 57344
  aboot  : loading compressed kernels/vmlinux.gz"
  aboot  : zero filling 335640 bytes at ................ (Some HEX values)
  aboot  : starting kernel kernels/vmlinux.gz with arguments root=/dev/scd0
   (last message on the screen)

  Afterwards nothing happens.No messages nothing.

   Has any one installed on a similar machine? What is wrong here?
   Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

   Regards,
   Kumar
