Yes.

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
