The OSF/1 client already works & the osf/1 emulation is much more
mature than the linux emulation on alpha.  Assuming they built it
w/DEC compilers, it should be considerably faster than the linux
client.

Grab http://www.freebsd.org/~gallatin/osf1.tar.gz (this is for
-current, not -stable).  Build & load the osf/1 kernel module. Put
the following into /compat/osf1/etc/svc.conf:

aliases=local
group=local,yp
hosts=bind,local,yp
netgroup=local,yp
networks=local,yp
passwd=local,yp
protocols=local,yp
rpc=local,yp
services=local,yp
SECLEVEL=BSD   # for backwards compatibility ONLY


I think you'll also need to tell it what CPU you have.
