I (think) I fixed a bug this weekend in the 2100 support code where EV5 2100s were being identified wrong and their t2 CSRs were being accessed in the wrong location. Try http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/kernel.2100.gz Slap it onto the 4.4 boot floppy in place of the kernel that was there. If it works, you'll need to make sure to copy that kernel into / after the install is done & to upgrade to -stable past this weekend. Also, note that FreeBSD doesn't support SMP on alphas in -stable, only in -current. If you decide to go for -current, make sure you use a -current past this weekend (as I squashed some 2100 bugs in current too).
