You might remember I asked before about setting up a dual-boot alpha
for FreeBSD and OSF1 (aka Tru64). I've installed the 2nd disk and
I've received the software, so I'm ready to proceed. But I have a
couple of questions to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot.
The system is running FreeBSD just dandy and I don't want to mess that
up.
The Tru64 release comes with a "Firmware Update V5.6" CD-ROM which
you are supposed to install first. Should I really? My system as
it stands currently has the following characteristics as reported by
"show config":
Aspen Systems Durango II Workstation
SRM Console T4.9-51
VMS Palcode V1.20-1
OSF Palcode V1.22-1
SROM Revision 3.1
Alpha 21164A-2
I'm not even sure which of these the "firmware update" will affect.
Second, I notice that "show os_type" reports "NT". Should I change
it to "unix"?
Thanks in advance,
Mr. Worry Wart
