>This document describes the Miniloader for Linux on Alpha AXP (MILO).
|
|
This firmware is used to initialize Alpha AXP based systems, load and
|
|
start Linux and, finally, provide PALcode for Linux. Please note that
|
|
the prefered way of booting Linux is via SRM console and MILO should
|
|
only be used if either there is no SRM console for your hardware (XL series)
|
|
or your current hardware isn't supported by SRM.</P
