FreeBSD is running. I think you don't understand my problem. RAID firmware is on the floppy disk. How can I start it from SRM? I don't know. filename is: ra200rcu.exe If I want to configure my RAID controller I have to start AlphaBIOS from SRM. It is not problem. >From the AlphaBIOS I can start the named file from the floppy. It is all right. When I finish my work with RAID controller I exit from RCU sw. I will be again in AlphaBIOS. How can I go back to SRM without pusing the RESET button? (I'm on the serial console which is connected to a terminal server.) How can I reset the machine in this state like init in SRM? That is the problem. SRM is a must because on the other disks there are a VMS, NetBSD and I want to choose among them. TIA, Ruzsi
