+Install media:
+A number of install options exist:

+- CD boot:
+Booting off the CD provides an El Torito 2.88MB floppy image that contains
+drivers for the most popular devices found in alpha hardware. This also
+includes minimal USB support (storage devices, keyboard and some ethernet
+adapters).
+For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
+
+RAMDISKBIG config file.
+
- Floppy A:
+This 1.44MB floppy image supports the following alpha hardware:
+
+- AlphaStation 200, 250, 255, 400
+
- AlphaStation 500, 600
+
- AXPpci33 based machines, such as the ``Noname'', UDB, and Multia
+
- EB164 based machines, such as the PC164, 164SX and 164LX
+
- Personal Workstation (Miata)
+
+It contains support for the on-board devices found on these machines, however
+due to lack of place there are only few other drivers. In particular, this
+floppy lacks cdrom support and won't allow you to install from cdrom media.
+
- Floppy B:
+This 1.44MB floppy image supports the following alpha hardware:

+- Alpha Processor, Inc. UP1000
