To make a long story short, I searched the web and came to the following conclusion: a) I need a SRM to run FreeBSD/Alpha. b) There is no SRM for the XL. Even though I'm pretty sure that a) and b) both are true, is there _any_ way (like switching from AlphaBios to SRM or whatever) to get this box to run with FreeBSD (or NetBSD for that matter). I'm even willing to hack some code, if that would help. Any pointers/flames/hints appreciated, with best regards, Henrik Wist -- wist@ex.MuFFiN.Org // IRC: |GOOSE| // wist@acm.org ------------------------- "Pine was created for staff at the University of Washington so that they would not need to be retrained upon returning from a coffeebreak."
