Hm... Ok - EV56 here.. Maybe I should manage to find my old backups
made with the 4 system. Back to 2001 I remember that I was able to boot
from floppy (I was playing around with a non-bootable scsi controller and
booting from flopy+changing rootdev then) on an other AlphaPC 164LX.
Digital AlphaPC 164LX 599 MHz, 598MHz
8192 byte page size, 1 processor.
CPU: EV56 (21164A) major=7 minor=2 extensions=0x1<BWX>
