We got an Alpha awhile back that I'm trying to dual-boot into FreeBSD ...
I know soooo little about this thing, being primarily x86/Sparc all my
life ... when I do a 'boot dva0', I see:
"Digital Ultimate Workstation 533au2 Console V5.8-2, 26 Jul 2000"
come up ... the front LCD states "Model 533au2" ...
It gets as far as:
FreeBSD/alpha SRM disk boot, Revision 1.0
(jkh@...)
Memory: 524288 k
/
and then it hangs ... looking at the floppy after ~5min of trying to be
patient, th elight goes on and off, as if its still reading the drive, but
the '/' no longer turns or anything ...
I don't even know where to start debugging this, unfortunately ... help?
Thanks ...
