I quickly grabbed the ISO of FreeBSD/alpha and burned myself an install CD. The hardware guide tells me that I can only run FreeBSD in diskless mode because code for the SCSI controller was not available. Is there any hope that a future release will support this hardware? I'd like to help the effort to port FreeBSD/alpha in any way I can. Please let me know. Jason -------------------------------- Jason T.
