+If you choose to boot from ARC console firmware using
+<command>MILO</command>, you will also need to prepare a disk
+containing <command>MILO</command> and <command>LINLOAD.EXE</command>
+from the provided disk images. See <xref linkend="alpha-firmware"/>
+for more information on Alpha
+firmware and boot loaders. The floppy images can be found in the
+<filename>MILO</filename> directory as
+<filename>milo_<replaceable>subarchitecture</replaceable>.bin</filename>.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Unfortunately, these <command>MILO</command> images could not be
+tested and might not work for all subarchitectures. If you find it
+doesn't work for you, try copying the appropriate
+<command>MILO</command> binary onto the floppy
+(<ulink url="&disturlftp;main/disks-alpha/current/MILO/"></ulink>).
+Note that those <command>MILO</command>s don't support ext2 <quote>sparse
+superblocks</quote>, so you can't use them to load kernels from newly
+generated ext2 file systems. As a workaround, you can put your kernel
+onto the FAT partition next to the <command>MILO</command>.

+
+<command>MILO</command> binaries are platform-specific. See
+<xref linkend="alpha-cpus"/> to determine the appropriate
+<command>MILO</command> image for your Alpha platform.

+<para>
+
+Some m68k subarchs have a choice of kernels to install. In general we
+recommend trying the most recent version first. If your subarch or
+machine needs to use a 2.2.x kernel, make sure you choose one of the
+images that supports 2.2.x kernels (see the <ulink
+url="&disturl;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink>).
+
+</para>
+<para>
+
+All of the m68k images for use with 2.2.x kernels, require the kernel
+parameter &ramdisksize;.

+ <title>NewWorld MacOS Installation Files </title>
+<para>
+
+For floppy-less installation on NewWorld Macs, it may be most
+convenient to obtain all the necessary files packaged into one Stuffit
+archive from
+<ulink url="&url-powerpc-of;"></ulink> (separate instructions are
+included in the archive). Otherwise, obtain the normal installation
+files listed above. Retrieve the files to an HFS (not HFS+) partition
+on your system. You will also need the <filename>yaboot</filename> and
+<filename>yaboot.conf</filename> files from the
+<ulink url="&downloadable-file;new-powermac/">new-powermac</ulink> or
+<ulink url="&downloadable-file;powermac/">powermac</ulink> archive folder.
+However, the newest G4 PowerMacs, and those that work without MacOS 9,
+need the newest version of <command>yaboot</command>; the one in the
+archive will not work. Obtain the newest version from
+<ulink url="http://penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/"></ulink>.
