Hi.

Try giving some more information, like the exact partition tables, run
`fdisk -l /dev/sda` (with util-linux installed). Also, what filesystems
are you using? Bootloaders? Show us the bootloader configurations. What
Alpine are you using (3.7/edge/something else that shouldn't be used
currently?). There are many questions left open with your problem
report. Also, what constitutes "not booting"? How far does it get?

Might try helping some more if you provide adequate information.
