4-10 Installing Linux on Alpha Systems
4.5 Installing the TurboLinux Distribution
Install the TurboLinux distribution as follows:
1.
Insert the TurboLinux V6.0 CD into the drive.
2.
For IDE CD-ROM, enter the following boot command to boot the
TurboLinux installation program.
>>>boot dqa0
For SCSI CD-ROM, enter the following boot command (assuming DKA500
is the CD-ROM):
>>>boot dka500
The TurboLinux distribution has a simple installation program. Most of the
devices available with the Alpha systems can be correctly autodetected by
TurboLinux.
NOTES:If you have trouble booting, for example, because of a typing error in
setting the SRM environment variables, the system will display an
aboot> prompt. Reset the system with the Reset button on the front
panel. Then correct the error and reenter the boot command.
During the boot process, messages about IDE STO errors may be
displayed. You can ignore them.
When configuring "Timezones," select EST or the appropriate value for
your location.
