Hi all,
I just powered off my last non-freebsd server here, an old Alphaserver
with osf/1 that they bought here when they opened this ISP. My first
idea was to scratch OSF/1 and install Freebsd over it, to play a bit in
an enviroment that I know better - we have 4 servers with Freebsd and
one with Pico, and 10+ installations around our small county. While I
had to fight a bit with our floppy drive - we never used that and I even
discovered it was disconnected :( - I succeded at booting the two
floppies. It panic-ed just before starting, stating that architecture
was not supported - I was waiting that, since I didn't read our server
in the supported hardware list.
I'm wondering if this architecture will be added in the future or not,
since hardware is relatively old ... Well it's not an important machine
here now, but I'd like to use it since it costed them a lot ....
Sincerely,
C.Angelini
