Good Morning.
 
I have and AlphaServer 1200 which was physically abused in transit.  The
system boots to the console OK, and the test utility indicates the the
CPU's and memory are OK.  I am trying to install TRU64 5.1A on the box
and get the following error during the CD boot:

I am connecting through the serial port via terminal emulator on my
laptop.  Does anyone know what the above error means and how to correct
it?
 
TIA
