I only got 5 mins to play with the box, and didn't see an obvious way of doing this. I remember reading that there was a distinction between the "a" and "au" model, and that FreeBSD would only boot from the SRM, not AlphaBIOS. The crack I was smoking probably lead me to the conclusion that the "a" model didn't have an SRM. Sorry, I'm reproducing this stuff parrot-fashion at the moment. I'll read up on it a bit more, and get back when I understand what I'm talking about. > > -- > | / o / /_ _ email: wilko@FreeBSD.org > |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte Arnhem, The Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
