I have a working FreeBSD 6-STABLE on a SCSI disk connected to the onboard controller. The kernel config is attached. Doug> And that message goes away if I boot the system with out the Doug> card.

There are two sockets for flash ROMs on the card: U34 and U47. U34 is empty, and U47 is labled: 615156-F02 V2.42 U47 DEC Doug> With out a manual, and with none quickly found via google, I'm Doug> kinda stumped. Wilko> Well.. I just found a ZIPed copy of a 2003 floppy for the SWXCR Wilko> card for (I hope..) Alpha. I can send you a copy in private Wilko> email if you want. That'd be nice. (Assuming that rev 2.42 of the ROM doesn't make this a door stop.) Thanks.
