If your machine doesn't support CD booting, but you do have a CD set, you can use an alternative strategy such as <phrase condition="supports-floppy-boot">floppy disk,</phrase> <phrase arch="s390">tape, emulated tape,</phrase> <phrase condition="bootable-disk">hard disk,</phrase> <phrase condition="bootable-usb">usb stick,</phrase> <phrase condition="supports-tftp">net boot,</phrase> or manually loading the kernel from the CD to initially boot the system installer. The files you need for booting by another means are also on the CD; the Debian network archive and CD folder organization are identical. So when archive file paths are given below for particular files you need for booting, look for those files in the same directories and subdirectories on your CD.

If you don't have a CD set, then you will need to download the installer system files and place them on the <phrase arch="s390">installation tape</phrase> <phrase condition="supports-floppy-boot">floppy disk or</phrase> <phrase condition="bootable-disk">hard disk or</phrase> <phrase condition="bootable-usb">usb stick or</phrase> <phrase condition="supports-tftp">a connected computer</phrase> so they can be used to boot the installer.

The installation images are located on each Debian mirror in the directory <ulink url="&url-debian-installer;images">debian/dists/&releasename;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/</ulink> — the <ulink url="&url-debian-installer;images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink> lists each image and its purpose.

If you choose to boot from ARC console firmware using <command>MILO</command>, you will also need to prepare a disk containing <command>MILO</command> and <command>LINLOAD.EXE</command> from the provided disk images. See <xref linkend="alpha-firmware"/> for more information on Alpha firmware and boot loaders. The floppy images can be found in the <filename>MILO</filename> directory as <filename>milo_<replaceable>subarchitecture</replaceable>.bin</filename>.

Unfortunately, these <command>MILO</command> images could not be tested and might not work for all subarchitectures. If you find it doesn't work for you, try copying the appropriate <command>MILO</command> binary onto the floppy (<ulink url="&disturlftp;main/disks-alpha/current/MILO/"></ulink>). Note that those <command>MILO</command>s don't support ext2 <quote>sparse superblocks</quote>, so you can't use them to load kernels from newly generated ext2 file systems. As a workaround, you can put your kernel onto the FAT partition next to the <command>MILO</command>.

<command>MILO</command> binaries are platform-specific. See <xref linkend="alpha-cpus"/> to determine the appropriate <command>MILO</command> image for your Alpha platform.
