We have also encountered the same problem on an Alpah 250 4/266, with
firmware at 6.4, 128MB of memory. We have also tried the 4.0a and 4.0c
cdrom with the same result. Is there a flag that needs to be specified
with the boot command? Thanks...

We have the Installation CD-ROM of Digital Unix 4.0b and want to install it
on an AlphaStation 200 4/166 which is at the moment under DU 3.2c . We
updated the firmware to 6.6-1.
We boot on the CD-ROM with boot dka0 (the system HD is on dka 100 and the
user disk is dka200), then:
* it reads the boot blocks on the CD
* it loads the kernel (vmunix loaded)
* it issues the sizes:
Sizes :
text :4769280
data : 1253168
bss : 2497296
loading SIOP : script 800200, reg 82000000, data 40844180
>>
* it lists the devices
* and then
panic (cpu0) : rmalloc
DUMP : No primary swpa, no explicit dumpdev
Nowhere to put header, giving up.

halt code = 5
