I've got an Digital EB64, a.k.a. Alpha PC64 (and a.k.a. Cabriolet). It's all set up and and waiting for an OS to install; but ------- A week ago when the Alpha 3.0-RELEASE was still on the ftp server and said it needed NetBSD boot disks, I pulled over and read the NetBSD install, which said it needed the SRM firmware. I'm presuming that the FreeBSD install also needs the SRM firmware. For whatever reason the SRM firmware is not in the flash ROM on this board. Nor do I have the disk with the SRM firmware. (I bought the board, new in the box, but the box had been opened. The outfit I bought it from okay, as far as it goes, but for various reasons isn't particularly helpful about coming up with the firmware diskettes for the board.) I'm also looking for the firmware through other channels, but don't know when, if ever, they might bear fruit. Does anyone that's doing the Alpha port have firmware diskettes for this board that they'd be willing to dd off the contents and make them available somewhere for ftp? Thanks in advance. -- Kaleb S.
