Important stuff: 3.0-19981208-SNAP Digital EBP30 board. Bought new in box. The docs that came with it identify it as a PC64 (other docs on the Digital ftp site refer to this board either as a PC64 or a PCI64, which is not the same as a PC164 -- that's a one, not the letter I), part of the "Cabriolet" family of boards. This board seems to have been made circa 1996 and has the 21064A CPU clocked at the default rate of 275Mhz. 64 Meg of RAM. Matrox Millenium (Digital OEM) Onboard IDE w/ Fujitsu 1G drive Digital NIC Installed the SRM console from the Digital EBSDK that Wilco Bulte sent me. When I enter `boot dva0` at the SRM prompt (gleaned from the NetBSD install): >>>boot dva0 (boot dva0.0.0.0.1 -flags 0) block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.1 is a valid boot block reading 14 blocks from dva0.0.0.0.1 bootstrap code read in base = 116000,image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1c00 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at 108000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code After printing this it reads the fd for a bit, flashes the keyboard lights twice, reads the fd a bit more, and then hangs. Are there flags I should pass to the boot line? Any other suggestions? N.B. The RedHat cabrio-s ("-s" for SRM version) does the same thing. I know: Linux eewwwww. :-) N.B^2. The board runs the ARC, Debug Monitor ROM, and SRM firmware so I have no reason to think the board is bad. (I'm subscribed now to freebsd-alpha.)
