>FreeBSD 5.3-BETA2 for the Alpha architecture:

disk2 boots and seems to run on my AS400 4/233.  Some slight glitches:
1) tl0: <Compaq Netelligent 10/100> port 0x10180-0x1018f irq 9 at device 12.0 on pci0
   reports "tl0: adapter check: 100007" when I do an ifconfig up, though
   the interface works OK.

2) Running fsck reports:
Fixit# fsck /dev/da0[ade]
fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory
fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory
fsck: exec fsck_4.2bsd for /dev/da0a in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory
fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory
fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory
fsck: exec fsck_4.2bsd for /dev/da0d in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory
fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory
fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory
fsck: exec fsck_4.2bsd for /dev/da0e in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory
  Explicitly using fsck_ffs works OK.

3) "mount 192.168.123.200:/back /mnt" reports:
boot_crunch: nfs not compiled in
usage: boot_crunch <prog> <args> ..., where <prog> is one of:
 hostname pwd rm sh -sh test [ cpio dhclient fsck_ffs ifconfig mount_nfs newfs
 route rtsol slattach tunefs camcontrol find minigzip gzip gunzip zcat sed arp
 ppp sysinstall usbd usbdevs boot_crunch
Fixit# 
   Again, using /sbin/mount_nfs works OK.

I've installed 5.3-BETA2 from the miniinst CD and it seems to be
running nicely.  I've left it doing a buildworld with /usr/{src,obj}
mounted via NFS (due to lack of local diskspace).  I don't expect it
to finish for a while and will report back if there are problems.
