Howdy,

I am just wondering if it would be possible to dual boot an Alpha 500au
with Tru64 Unix and FreeBSD ?

Are the OSs booted from the SRM or a bootloader (such like boot0 in FreeBSD)
on Alpha Machines?

In fact can anyone point me to a resource that explains the boot process of
and Alpha. ie does all booting occur via the SRM ?

Thanks


 - Alex
