Here's the Configure.help patch for Alpha against the 2.2.18pre
series. Alan, if you can find time to include this one, I'd appreciate it
:-)

Using SRM as bootloader
CONFIG_ALPHA_SRM
There are two different types of booting firmware on Alphas: SRM,
- which is command line driven, and ARC, which uses menus and arrow
- keys. Details about the Linux/Alpha booting process are contained in
- the Linux/Alpha FAQ, accessible on the WWW from
+ which is command line driven, and ARC/AlphaBios, which uses menus and

http://www.alphalinux.org (To browse the WWW, you need to
have access to a machine on the Internet that has a program like
lynx or netscape).
- The usual way to load Linux on an Alpha machine is to use MILO
- (a bootloader that lets you pass command line parameters to the
- kernel just like lilo does for the x86 architecture) which can be
- loaded either from ARC or can be installed directly as a permanent
- firmware replacement from floppy (which requires changing a certain
- jumper on the motherboard). If you want to do either of these, say N
- here. If MILO doesn't work on your system (true for Jensen
- motherboards), you can bypass it altogether and boot Linux directly
- from an SRM console; say Y here in order to do that. Note that you
- won't be able to boot from an IDE disk using SRM.
