+Complete information regarding supported DEC Alphas can be found at

+
+Alpha machines are subdivided into different system types because there
+are a number of generations of motherboard and supporting chipsets.
+Different systems (<quote>sub-architectures</quote>) often have radically
+different engineering and capabilities.  Therefore, the process of
+installing and, more to the point, booting, can vary from system to system.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The following table lists the system types supported by the Debian
+installation system.  The table also indicates the <emphasis>code
+name</emphasis> for these system types.  You'll need to know this code
+name when you actually begin the installation process:

+Currently the <emphasis>&architecture;</emphasis> port supports
+several types of Sparc systems. The most common identifiers for Sparc
+systems are sun4, sun4c, sun4m, sun4d and sun4u. Currently we do not
+support very old sun4 hardware. However, the other systems are
+supported. Sun4d has been tested the least of these, so expect
+possible problems with regard to the kernel stability. Sun4c and
+Sun4m, the most common of the older Sparc hardware, includes such
+systems as SparcStation 1, 1+, IPC, IPX and the SparcStation LX, 5,
+10, and 20, respectively. The UltraSPARC class systems fall under the
+sun4u identifier, and are supported using the sun4u set of install
+images. Some systems that fall under these supported identifiers are
+known to not be supported. Known unsupported systems are the AP1000
+multicomputer and the Tadpole Sparcbook 1. See the

+<para>
+
+Some older Sun workstations, notably the Sun IPX and Sun IPC have
+memory banks located at fixed locations in physical memory.  Thus if
+the banks are not filled gaps will exist in the physical memory space.
+The Linux installation requires a contiguous memory block into which
+to load the kernel and the initial RAMdisk.  If this is not available a
+<quote>Data Access Exception</quote> will result.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Thus you must configure the memory so that the lowest memory block is
+contiguous for at least 8Mb.  In the IPX and IPC cited above, memory banks
+are mapped in at 16Mb boundaries.  In effect this means that you must have
+a sufficiently large SIMM in bank zero to hold the kernel and RAMdisk.
+In this case 4Mb is <emphasis>not</emphasis> sufficient.

+Example:
+In a Sun IPX you have a 16Mb SIMM and a 4Mb SIMM.  There are four
+SIMM banks (0,1,2,3). [Bank zero is that furthest away from the SBUS
+connectors]. You must therefore install the 16Mb SIMM in bank 0; it is
+then recommended to install the 4Mb SIMM in bank 2.

+Especially in the case of older Sun workstations, it is very common
+for there to be an onboard framebuffer which has been superseded (for
+example the bwtwo on a sun IPC), and an SBUS card containing a later
+probably accelerated buffer is then plugged in to an SBUS slot.
+Under Solaris/SunOS this causes no problems because both cards are
+initialized.

+
+However with Linux this can cause a problem, in that the boot PROM
+monitor may display its output on this additional card; however the
+linux kernel boot messages may then be directed to the original on
+board framebuffer, leaving <emphasis>no</emphasis> error messages on
+the screen, with the machine apparently stuck loading the RAMdisk.

+
+To avoid this problem, connect the monitor (if required) to the video
+card in the lowest numbered SBUS slot (on motherboard card counts
+as below external slots).  Alternatively it is possible to use a serial
+console.
