Of course I did (didn't you see my earlier post?), but, I got several
errors, including the very annoying "No Floppy Disk In Drive".

I guess what I could try is, as Bart Zorn suggested, to prepare a CD
with LD in an Alpha emulator with the foreign bootstrap image (instead
of a floppy diskette).  But, as I asked, I don't know if the whole boot
procedure will work; unless I connected another CD-ROM drive...?
