Install Help Fedora Core 3 on Digital Alpha 164LX

I want to install Fedora Core 3 on this machine.

Processor Digial Alpha 21164, Revision 7.2
AlphaBIOS Version 5.62-1a (May be a newer version available but I don't
know where or how to get it)

At Linux Alpha, the HowTo suggested putting
linload.exe
and
milo on a floppy.

On the iso images I downloaded from alphalinux, there are two
linload.exe files (which one do I use)

I'm not sure which of the two milo files to use the alphaLinux page
suggests the one appropriate to your system (which one is that?)
Besides the milo files are almost two megabytes big which makes it
impossible to put them on a floppy.

Does anyone know how to go about the install of Fedora Core 3 on this
machine?

Does anyone know where I can get more explicit (accurate?) instructions
than the alphaLinux howto page?

Thanks in advance,

Ernie

The Alpha doesn't have a 32-bit mode. Linux will run equally well
when loaded by either firmware. SRM has supposedly has better
PALcode, but I have no idea how much difference that makes. Perhaps
more compelling is that setting up SRM to boot Linux is much easier
than with AlphaBIOS. Besides, SRM is way cooler, IMHO.
