  I've already seen that all three disks are alive.  They're all real RZs. The CD is even an actual RRD. The only boot parameters that are set are the flags D,A, and boot_reset is ON.  Amazingly a bootdev is not set.  I could probably boot into the OS, but I'd just have  to hard power the machine.  I'm not sure copying a hash from a Linux box into a DEC UNIX box would entirely work, even if I could lay hands on media.

  CompUSA used to offer a card that had a NIC, USB, and something else... Anyone see one of these before, or tried one in an Alpha?

Good going Hevi.  The beast awakens from its slumber.  Now,

"show b*"  will show all your boot parameters.  Check "show dev" to see if the
boot device is alive.  Then if it still doesn't boot, something else is wrong.
 Probably in the OS installataion.

Good luck!
