I really don't know as i never has such model myself. You do have SRM
running on that box? If it's ARC/AlphaBIOS based, i am not even
thinking of touching that area anymore :/

what's woth for 'normal boot method', it's just that one does

>> boot <some device>

(preferrable with 'set boot_osflags ""' so that it won't start
something with automagic).

The 'l' does bring the list of predefined targets which are selected
just with the prefixing number.

One is free to use domething like

> b /kernels/vmlinux.gz initrd=/images/cdrom.img <a lot of own flags>

if needed. (for example the 'console=ttyS0 text askmethod' is something
i need :)

So short: a little more details?
