[-- Attachment #1 --] dear daemons!! a few weeks ago i bought an alpha 21164. after a litte bit of researching i was able to "change" the bios into the srm console. but it did not work. everytime i booted with the 4.1 cd it stopped at the "jumping to bootstrap", and the system does not react but i can see the cube-like cursor at the left. i guess this is the point where normally the installation should start. the same with netbsd. suse 6.3+6.4 didnīt make any problems but i would much more like freebsd running on my system. what can i do?? hereīs the system: 21164/533mhz/2mb cache lx164 256mb/ecc 15gb maxtor/ide lg 48x/ide floppy!! matrox 2mb/svga i got the srm update from ftp.digital.com and directly from apiīs homepage. my alpha-bios is 5.68-1 best regards g.fischer [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2919.3800" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>dear daemons!!</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a few weeks ago i bought an alpha 21164. after a litte bit of researching i was able to "change" the bios into the srm console.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but it did not work. everytime i booted with the 4.1 cd it stopped at the "jumping to bootstrap", and the system does not react but i can see the cube-like cursor at the left. i guess this is the point where normally the installation should start. the same with netbsd. suse 6.3+6.4 didnīt make any problems but i would much more like freebsd running on my system. what can i do??</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hereīs the system:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>21164/533mhz/2mb cache </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>lx164</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>256mb/ecc</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>15gb maxtor/ide</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>lg 48x/ide</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>floppy!!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>matrox 2mb/svga</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i got the srm update from <A href="ftp://ftp.digital.com">ftp.digital.com</A>; and directly from apiīs homepage. my alpha-bios is 5.68-1</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>best regards g.fischer </FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
