Help needed for install on 164SX

[Michael Kronsteiner]

Hello Bojan!

I have a couple of alphas (Dec 3000 line, Mikasa, ...) which ALL use SRM
Console, i like it and never had any trouble with it. But the problem is:
will the IDE-HDDs and CDROM work with it? i have heard that this is not so.
Anyway i dont like AlphaBIOS at all, just take a quick look at the copyright
notice :-). If SRM should support my IDE-Drives, the AlphaBIOS will
"disappear" just when i come home. Maybe it is also a good idea to flash
milo, but i dont know how to do, and the milo-howto doesn`t really tell.
