It is installed! [ for the greppers and searchers ] Alpha Personal Workstation 433au OK It installed, and make world (actually buildworld, followed by installworld) completed successfully. Minor Questions remain: * Sysinstall asks about fdisk partitions but the installation ignores the information. Should it? or, should the Alpha simply not ask these offensive DOSish questions? * Assuming only one ``slice'' exists in which to install FreeBSD partitions, how does one create a device with say, 20 filesystems? No, this is not a DPT (yet again :-) question, although it could easily be one. * Who is responsible for the fix which will make the boot disk bootable? If I am, then where is the best place to stick this code (thanks Doug!)? * Upon reboot, I saw the repeated message ``,kernel.old not found'', or some such. Is this an artifact of installworld, or what? * It seems like this machine here has sound interfaces. Does anyone know how to make them work? Thanx a million for a terrifc job! I will now resume my family life and tinkering with DPT stuff to make it Alpha worthy.
