This document describes the Miniloader for Linux on Alpha AXP (MILO).
This firmware is used to initialize Alpha AXP based systems, load and
start Linux and, finally, provide PALcode for Linux. Please note that
the prefered way of booting Linux is via SRM console and MILO should
only be used if either there is no SRM console for your hardware (XL series)
or your current hardware isn't supported by SRM.
