Hi, I recently received an Alpha motherboard with CPU and memory from a friend. I stuffed it in an AT case, attached a SCSI HDD and cdrom to it, added a Matrox Millenium 1 to it and booted. It comes in this: -------- Alpha Firmware Version 4.42 Copyright(c) 1993-1995 Microsoft Corporation Copyright(c) 1993-1995 Ditigal Equipment Corporation Boot menu: Boot Windows NT Boot an alternate operating system Run a program Supplemantary menu --------- The machine previously ran Linux redhat, but since i didnt get an harddisk to go with it, it can't boot it :-) Now as I have never even seen an Alpha in my life, I am sort of puzzled. The FreeBSD install guide keeps talking about an SRM prompt and all that... but I don't seem to have it at all! Argh this is frustrating :-) Any help to get to that SRM prompt is greatly appreciated.
