I used to get aboot from a site at debian.org, but that site seems to be
down or gone or something like that. Now, you can currently get it from
ftp.alphalinux.org. But I see no active development site. This is very
strange because I distinctly remember several new versions being released
a while back.

I'm going to do some more looking and see what I can find. In the
meantime, I will be hacking on setup. I will be able to boot from my
hard drive, and that's all there is to it.
