(as I slowly shift over toward this....still involved in some legal
foo)...


So far, I haven't had much luck at Feral. I've a AlphaPC164 and a Multia.
The Alpha PC164 I usually just have a serial console for- and that seems
to be a problem (kernel freezes about at the point it should shift over to
a real console).

The Multia I have on a monitor (actually this multia has an ARC instance  
for linux && NT/Alpha and I switch it to SRM for NetBSD/Digital Unix)- but 
in booting the latest boot.flp it puked all over my shoes with machine 
checks and unexpected interrupts, yadda yadda yadda- I'm checking that 
this wasn't a corrupt floppy (this has been known to have occurred before-
the floppies are really flakey on the multia) but that may not be the
case.

Next step is to pop a graphics card into the PC164... drag... Well,
I'll try and all make it work... but from what I see of the packaging,
way to guy, guys!
