Booting Linux

Obtain the Linux installation document and install Linux on the
system.  Then verify boot parameters and issue the boot command.

The procedure for installing Linux on an ES40 is documented in the Linux
Installation and Configuration Guide for AlphaServer DS10, DS20, ES40, and
AlphaStation XP1000 Computers.

The installation document can be downloaded in either PDF or HTML format:
