Mike, thanks again, I'll try those suggestions later, as my 'visiting'
nephew has been waiting since early this morning to (chuckle) get at my
game machine; which, is in the same location as this group of machines.
anyhow, THANK YOU to Paul Richards -- very much appreciated!
Since my last post, (smile) I got out my hammer and chisel, did some
quick 'dirty' hacks, and got my first FreeBSD/alpha to boot.
here are the current results:
# dmesg
