I just acquired an Alphastation 500/333 which had Digital Unix 3.2 and
Linux on it--I was going to wipe it and put FreeBSD on it. I booted
from the two disks, but after the 'wait 10 seconds' prompt and when it
starts to actually boot, it panics with the message:
ctb->ctb_term_type = 0x3
ctb->ctb_turboslot = 0x30008
panic: consinit: unknown console type 3
So I digup an old slightly dysfunctional and fading wyse terminal,
plug it up and boot, this time it panics with the message:
dec_kn20aa_itr_map: weird slot 0
unexpected machine check:
mces = 0x1
vector = 0x660
param = 0xfffff<something>
pc = 0xfffff<something>
ra = 0xfffff<something>
curproc = 0
panic: machine check
I am booting from SRM, latest console (7.0a). console is set to
'graphics' or 'serial' as appropriate. Why am I seeing this? Digital
Unix and Linux bootup fine...
Any help is greatly appreciated...
