mkbni-linux fails on Alpha ?

[Thomas Huber <judas@rz.fh-augsburg.de>]

Hi,

I have an Alpha with a DEC422 networkcard. 

The System rom of the Alpha allready supports
booting off network, so there`s no problem with
the rom.

The Alpha connects the bootpserver and
print out the correct IP-number, then downloads
the file from the TFTPserver.

.. then the alpha crashes.


Problem:

- Running mkbni on vmlinux(alpha) gives me 
  a "cannot find the magic number".
  (I currently ignore the "magic number" to
   get a bootImage for testing tftp.)


- What does this mean ?


- Does mkbni-linux depend on the X86-architecture ?



bye
