Message-ID: <20000106234709.A2690@yedi.iaf.nl> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i X-OS: FreeBSD yedi.iaf.nl 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE X-PGP: finger wilko@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi there, How about creating a HARDWARE.TXT (or something appropriately named) specific to FreeBSD on the Alpha machines? Topics to include (e.g) - what should be considered a minimum config - what hardware definitely does [not] work - specific hardware quirks (e.g. Miata first generation mainboard) - ... If people agree this is useful to do I volunteer to maintain this file. I can, however, only comment on Alpha hardware that I'm familiar with myself [NoName, Aspen Alpine, 'Bird-series' DEC3000, Miata]. So I will definitely need help for the other stuff.
