[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm sorry if this should have been directed to another FreeBSD Questions list, but I'm wondering if anyone here knows if FreeBSD works on a DEC Alpha 300XL machine. I believe this was the machine intended for Windows NT ONLY. I have a DEC Alpha 500a Personal Workstation which gives me a console screen when I first power it on. The 300XL doesn't do that.. It goes straight into the bios testing upon bootup. I know that Linux can load on this machine.. Basically once the Bios comes up you go into 'setup' and you can load Lilo from floppy. I appreciate any feedback..
