Hm. 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.
