Hello All,

I've tried to install FreeBSD-5.0-RC2 on an Alphaserver 300 4/266. The
console was a serial one (the SRM env was also set to serial).

I've got a lot of:
"scrn_update(): scp->end 0 > size_of_screen!!
scrn_update(): scp->start -1 < 0"
errors.
The weird thing the same cd worked well on the EB164.
The only difference between the two machine that the EB has no video card.
Could it be the problem?


Thanks,

__
Steve
