- <title>Alpha Console Firmware</title>
-<para>
-
-Console firmware is stored in a flash ROM and started when an Alpha
-system is powered up or reset.  There are two different console
-specifications used on Alpha systems, and hence two classes of console
-firmware available:

-
-<itemizedlist>

-
-  <emphasis>SRM console</emphasis>, based on the Alpha Console Subsystem
-  specification, which provides an operating environment for OpenVMS, Tru64
-  UNIX, and Linux operating systems.
-
-</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>
-
-  <emphasis>ARC, AlphaBIOS, or ARCSBIOS console</emphasis>, based on the
-  Advanced RISC Computing (ARC) specification, which provides an operating
-  environment for Windows NT.
-
-</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>
-
-From the user's perspective, the most important difference between SRM
-and ARC is that the choice of console constrains the possible
-disk-partitioning scheme for the hard disk which you wish to boot off
-of.
-
-</para><para>
-
-ARC requires that you use an MS-DOS partition table (as created by
-<command>cfdisk</command>) for the boot disk.  Therefore MS-DOS partition
-tables are the <quote>native</quote> partition format when booting from
-ARC.  In fact, since AlphaBIOS contains a disk partitioning utility, you may
-prefer to partition your disks from the firmware menus before
-installing Linux.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Conversely, SRM is <emphasis>incompatible</emphasis><footnote>
-
-<para>
-Specifically, the bootsector format required by the Console Subsystem
-Specification conflicts with the placement of the DOS partition table.
-</para>
-
-</footnote> with MS-DOS partition tables. Since Tru64 Unix uses the BSD
-disklabel format, this is the <quote>native</quote> partition format for
-SRM installations.
-
-</para><para>
-
-GNU/Linux is the only operating system on Alpha that can be booted from
-both console types, but &debian; &release; only supports booting on
-SRM-based systems.  If you have an Alpha for which no version of SRM is
-available, if you will be dual-booting the system with Windows NT, or if
-your boot device requires ARC console support for BIOS initialization,
-you will not be able to use the &debian; &release; installer.  You can
-still run &debian; &release; on such systems by using other install
-media; for instance, you can install Debian woody with MILO and upgrade.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Because <command>MILO</command> is not available for any of the Alpha
-systems currently in production (as of February 2000), and because it
-is no longer necessary to buy an OpenVMS or Tru64 Unix license to have
-SRM firmware on your older Alpha, it is recommended that you use SRM
-when possible.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The following table summarizes available and supported system
-type/console combinations (see <xref linkend="alpha-cpus"/> for the
-system type names).  The word <quote>ARC</quote> below denotes any of the
-ARC-compliant consoles.

-Partitions in a Tru64 disk label may overlap.  Moreover, if this disk
-will be used from Tru64, the <quote>c</quote> partition is required to span
-the entire disk (thus overlapping all other non-empty partitions).  Under
-Linux this makes <filename>sda3</filename> identical to
-<filename>sda</filename> (<filename>sdb3</filename> to
-<filename>sdb</filename>, if present, and so on).  However, the partman
-partitioning tool used by &d-i; cannot handle overlapping partitions at
-present.  As a result, it is currently not recommended to share disks
-between Tru64 and Debian.  Partitions on Tru64 disks can be mounted
-under Debian after installation has been completed.

-
-Another conventional requirement is for the <quote>a</quote> partition to
-start from the beginning of the disk, so that it always includes the boot
-block with the disk label. If you intend to boot Debian from that disk, you
-need to size it at least 2MB to fit aboot and perhaps a kernel.
-Note that this partition is only required for compatibility; you must
-not put a file system onto it, or you'll destroy data.

-It is possible, and indeed quite reasonable, to share a swap partition
-between UNIX and Linux.  In this case it will be needed to do a
-<command>mkswap</command> on that partition every time the system is rebooted
-from UNIX into Linux, as UNIX will damage the swap signature.  You may
-want to run <command>mkswap</command> from the Linux start-up scripts before
-adding swap space with <command>swapon -a</command>.

-If you want to mount UNIX partitions under Linux, note that Digital UNIX
-can use two different file system types, UFS and AdvFS, of which Linux
-only understands the former.

-Windows NT uses the PC-style partition table.  If you are manipulating
-existing FAT or NTFS partitions, it is recommended that you use the
-native Windows NT tools (or, more conveniently, you can also
-repartition your disk from the AlphaBIOS setup menu).  Otherwise, it
-is not really necessary to partition from Windows; the Linux
-partitioning tools will generally do a better job.  Note that when you
-run NT, the Disk Administrator may offer to write a <quote>harmless
-signature</quote> on non-Windows disks if you have any.
-<emphasis>Never</emphasis> let it do that, as this signature will destroy
-the partition information.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you plan to boot Linux from an ARC/AlphaBIOS/ARCSBIOS console, you
-will need a (small) FAT partition for MILO.  5 MB is quite
-sufficient.  If Windows NT is installed, its 6 MB bootstrap partition
-can be employed for this purpose.  Debian &releasename; does not support
-installing MILO.  If you already have MILO installed on your system, or
-install MILO from other media, Debian can still be booted from ARC.
