Good luck! 8-)
Binary snapshots include two precompiled kernels available: one
generic kernel which will prompt for a disk name to be used as
the root device, and one which tries to boot diskless via
bootp and NFS. The generic kernel is included in the rz25
disk image.
Binary snapshots include a kernel image which is the same
as the one on the rz25 disk image.
The sources provided seperately from the normal NetBSD-current

Boot the Alpha with the NetBSD disk, supplying the boot flag "-s".
It should print something like "NetBSD/Alpha Boot program", load
the kernel, print a copyright, and print various startup messages.
Included among those startup messages will be names (e.g. "sd0",
"cd0") for all of the SCSI disks in your system that NetBSD
recognizes. Eventually, you will be prompted for the name of
the root device, and should enter the device name (e.g. "sd0")
of the device that corresponds to your NetBSD disk.
After a short while, you should be asked for the name of a shell
to use; just hit return. You're advised to fsck the disk at this
