Hi all, I have been trying to set up a Alphastation AS200 4/233 for the past 3 months and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with it. If so could you please email me with the details. I have FreeBSD Release 3.0 on cd Direct from Walnut creek. i have tried making the boot disks and everything. I am at a loss. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
