E.3 Pre-Built Standard Milo Images

If you are planning to run Linux on a standard Alpha based system, then there are pre-built "standard" Milo images that you might use. These (along with the sources and other interesting stuff) can be found in url url="ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader".

The images subdirectory contains a directory per standard system (eg AlphaPC64) with Milo images having the following naming convention:

1. milo - Miniloader executable image, this image can be loaded in a variety of ways,
2. fmu.gz - Flash management utility,
3. milo.dd - Boot block floppy disk image. These should be written using rawrite.exe or dd on Linux.

 

The test-images, like the images subdirectory contains a directory per standard system. These images are somewhat experimental but tend to contain all the latest features.
