I have been using FreeBSD for fun and production boxes for several years now (on i386). I am working on getting a couple Alpha boxes running right now. I'm working on systems based on the PC164SX atx motherboard. Right now I have 5.3 installed and running. I am connected over a serial console. When it boots it stops and asks for "mountroot>" at which I hit enter to abort manual input. (see attached log) (is this a function of booting to serial console or single-user mode?) It then askes for pathname of shell (hit enter again) which takes me to single-user mode I believe. Does this mean that the Alpha port is limited to boot into single-user at the moment or is it something specific to my situation or serial console? (this is the first time I have installed/connected to a FreeBSD over serial console.) I have attached a log of my box booting, anyone know what the following in my SRM section means? *** no timer interrupts on CPU 0 *** Also, there is a series of "Unrecognized boot flag" lines in the FreeBSD boot, should I be worried about them? I am not a programmer, (as of today) so I am not really able to help there, but I would like to work on documentation if needed, and I would be happy to test anything on my Alpha hardware if requested. Thanks for your time, Roland Wells --------------020303030502020003070908 Content-Type: text/plain; name="console_log.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="console_log.txt" ff.fe.fd.fc.fb.fa.f9.f8.f7.f6.f5.f3.f2.f1.f0. ef.ee.ed.probing hose 0, PCI probing PCI-to-ISA bridge, bus 1 bus 0, slot 8, function 1 -- pka -- Cypress 82C693 IDE bus 0, slot 8, function 2 -- pkb -- Cypress 82C693 IDE ec.f4.eb.ea.e9.e8.e7.
