when do i type those commands? i am not at familiar with alpha systems. sorry. i worked only with i386 so far. this is my first alpha experience. (and i am supposed to do it right from the beginning) PS . when i boot the computer it gives an error like message "cannot find DQxxx -something- file for boot" what does it mean? after that it passes on and boot the True 64 UNIX it has installed. i want to remove that system and put freeBSD. thank you.
