Hi!

I am attempting to install FreeBSD 4.6 for Alpha on a DEC Multia (UDB) 
box.  I have two multias one a 166 Mhgz and one 233 Mhgz.  I have been 
successful in installing and running NT 4.0 on both so I bekieve the 
hardware is OK.

 From the SRM console I boot DKA400 -flags " " -file " " and the boot 
process begins, I do get a few "soft errors" from the CDROM but it seems to 
continue.  After loading the kernel I get the list of devices then the 
message about running from the serial console and asks to enter a number 
from 1-5 choosing a terminal type.  At this point keyboard input is shut off.

This happens on both multias.  How do I get beyond this?  I have installed 
FReeBSD 4.6 on a intel box successfully.  I would like to utilize the 
multias as servers.

Thanks

Ralph
