Can you write a reply to the chap on the alpha mailing list > who was trying to boot his multia to get him started (and maybe send him a > kernel). Are you using the prom console or serial? I'm still not *on* the Alpha mailing list. I sent off my request, and a followup mail to jmb about it, but I'm still not connected. *sulk* I'm using the serial console; the kernel is just GENERIC with syscons removed (this might not even be necessary). You want to make sure that both of the console variables are set to 'serial'. If you're not winning with GENERIC, try http://www.freebsd.org/~msmith/alpha/kernel.MULTIA Still no ethernet, nor PPP working on the console regrettably, but these should be fixable. Any hints on keeping these suckers cool? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
