My questions are: > (1) Does FreeBSD4.2R/Alpha boot/run on UP1100? I'm the guy who did the up1000 support for FreeBSD. I strongly suspect that the UP1100 will work. From what I can tell from reading the NetBSD and Linux sources, it should appear to software as a UP1000. We don't advertise that it will work simply because I have never seen one, and I've never heard of anybody booting FreeBSD on one. If it does not work, I should be able to resolve any problems remotely. (Eg, let you ftp kernel, or a source patch). > (2) Does older Digital Unix 4.x boot/run on UP1100? Almost certainly not. The API UP1000, at least, uses a different systype than anything Digital UNIX supports. Drew PS: Where can you buy UP1100 motherboards?
