I believe Milo was needed for systems with the AlphaBIOS and/or ARC
consoles. Systems with SRM are unix friendly, so Linux didn't need a
special console for them (and BSD only supported SRM). As near as I can
tell from the es40 rom, it looks like there are a bunch of diagnostics
in it if you turn them on...
