[ If you follow this thread, eventually you will be able to install FreeBSD on an Alpha Personal Workstation, avoiding many silly mistakes ] Got the kernel working, loads sysinstall (with strange colors (red background, etc.) but the keyboard (console!) is very goofy: * Does not react (in sysinstall) to any normal keystroke * Reacts (correctly) to ^C by asking ``Are you sure you want to abort...'' * Reacts correctly to ctl=alt=del * Works correctly in alt-F2 * Pause works correctly by allowing scrolling etc. * Works correctly in kernel debugger, although some boots cause it to work for only one or two characters, until the next ctl-alt-ESC * Having or not having a mouse makes no difference Wish I could do more ....
