My fault. That should read: try typing rmc at the serial console. You can use control-[ for escape. > Do you have any tips for starting ra200ecu.exe from SRM? Sorry, none. Even the relevant doc bits over at ftp.digital.com[1] suggest going into arc/alphabios and running ra200rcu.exe from there. BTW you could burn those files to a CD and run the utilities from there; that should prove better than floppies in the long run, given that you will admin this computer remotely and you don't intend to have some other cdrom in your drive all the time. \n\n [1] ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/alphaserver/storage/controllers/kzpac/rcu_ug.pdf -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Nikos Ntarmos iD8DBQFHUboum6J1ac+VFgoRAlaWAJ9ecBEVgw21gyaTQTbr/4+m1ezCSQCfVZZh K+Xk8hy4/5Xlwl8/saktJWI= =HWxK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
