I have a Digital Alpha200 station planned to be install with FREEBSD OS. Firstly I am having the trouble of booting up at the main console, I used the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to boot up to begin the installation. Right after it boot up with the prompt of terminal selection where you have 4 choices, my keyboard give no response to the machine. Wonder why? Secondly, alternatively, i used a serial port terminal to get the console prompt. I am able to boot up and begin with installation process. But the only thing is that I have the error message on installation which are from the documentation files where i presume that it do no harm to the installation process. Upon the end, where we suppose to put in root passwd, the process was skipped, due to unknown reason. I tried to reboot after the installation, but the OS does not even get boot up. here's ther error msg after I reboot: (boot dka0.0.0.6.0 -flags a) block 0 of dka0.0.0.6.0 is a valid boot block reading 15 blocks from dka0.0.0.6.0 bootstrap code read in base=if2000, image_start=0, image_bytes=1e00 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at 1e4000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code *** keyboard not plugged in ... Can't open file /boot/loader *** keyboard not plugged in ... halted CPU 0 halt code=5 HALT instruction executed PC=20000038 boot failure >>> So, how should i get the freebsd running? Do we need to update the alpha station firmware ? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
