I recently tried the same thing and posted to this group.  The answers I
got were:  These machines have TGA cards and FreeBSD does not support the
tga (even as a text/console) and so it falls back to serial.  Replace the
TGA card with some other card (non DEC card i.e. an S3 card should work
fine or the ELSA Gloria Synergy card) and try with that.  Or else download
NetBSD/alpha 1.4.1 and you can run this on your AS 200...
