Hello, I have an alpha 164sx with freebsd installed. The OS is on a scsi disk driven by a fireport 40. I didn't realise during the install that the alpha SRM console can't talk to the fireport. So now I can't boot the system from the scsi disk. I should be able to use the kern.flp disk to boot a kernel tell the kernel to use my scsi disk as the rootdev. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? I have tried boot dv -file /kernel -flags c to enter userconfig but I do'nt get any change in the boot up, the kernel is loaded and before anything else happends I am asked for MFS floppy. Can anyone suggest a solution? thanks matthias __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
