Anyone could suggest me anything ?? It sounds like the console may be set to serial, so you may have to connect up a serial terminal -- I've forgotten if the turbochannel alphas will do console I/O from/to a source other than their current console. > THen how is this workstation?? is it better or worse than dec3000/300 ?? > thanks It should be quite a bit better that a 3000/300. FWIW, you probably want to take freebsd-alpha off your CC list for issues with this machine. We don't support the SCSI contoller or the graphics / keyboard console on turbochannel machines. NetBSD does a far better job of device support on these boxes.
