In-Reply-To: References: Organization: Polstra & Co., Seattle, WA Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org You might remember I asked before about setting up a dual-boot alpha for FreeBSD and OSF1 (aka Tru64). I've installed the 2nd disk and I've received the software, so I'm ready to proceed. But I have a couple of questions to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot. The system is running FreeBSD just dandy and I don't want to mess that up. The Tru64 release comes with a "Firmware Update V5.6" CD-ROM which you are supposed to install first. Should I really? My system as it stands currently has the following characteristics as reported by "show config": Aspen Systems Durango II Workstation SRM Console T4.9-51 VMS Palcode V1.20-1 OSF Palcode V1.22-1 SROM Revision 3.1 Alpha 21164A-2 I'm not even sure which of these the "firmware update" will affect. Second, I notice that "show os_type" reports "NT". Should I change it to "unix"?
