I don't see anything spurious with your output, other than that you don't have any vga* or sc* lines. I guess that you've grabbed that over a serial console, right? I suspect that your alpha box boots just fine, only that your console settings are wrong. What's the value of the 'console' env variable in SRM and in the FreeBSD loader? It should be 'serial', otherwise type 'set console serial' followed by 'init'. Break into the FreeBSD loader and 'set console=comconsole'. You should also add a '-h' to /boot.conf and set up /etc/ttys to fire up a getty on your serial line. Check out [1] and [2]. \n\n [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html [2] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/console-server/freebsd.html From owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jul 31 15:46:14 2007 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5828316A417 for ; Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:46:14 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mexas@bristol.ac.uk) Received: from dirg.bris.ac.uk (dirg.bris.ac.uk [137.222.10.102]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F2EF13C4D3 for ; Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:46:14 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mexas@bristol.ac.uk) Received: from seis.bris.ac.uk ([137.222.10.93]) by dirg.bris.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.67) (envelope-from ) id 1IFtvH-0005uM-6v; Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:46:12 +0100 Received: from mech-aslap33.men.bris.ac.uk ([137.222.184.33]) by seis.bris.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.67) (envelope-from ) id 1IFtuu-0001QI-LE; Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:45:49 +0100 Received: from mech-aslap33.men.bris.ac.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mech-aslap33.men.bris.ac.uk (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id l6VFlQK8076947; Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:47:26 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from mexas@bristol.ac.uk) Received: (from mexas@localhost) by mech-aslap33.men.bris.ac.uk (8.13.8/8.13.8/Submit) id l6VFlQqU076946; Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:47:26 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from mexas@bristol.ac.uk) X-Authentication-Warning: mech-aslap33.men.bris.ac.uk: mexas set sender to mexas@bristol.ac.uk using -f Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:47:26 +0100 From: Anton Shterenlikht To: Jynx Jynx Message-ID: <20070731154725.GA75220@mech-aslap33.men.bris.ac.uk> Mail-Followup-To: Jynx Jynx , freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.3i X-Spam-Score: -1.4 X-Spam-Level: - Cc: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Subject: Re: [Newbie at FreeBSD Alpha] X-BeenThere: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the Alpha List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:46:14 -0000 On Fri, Jul 27, 2007 at 02:34:56PM -0300, Jynx Jynx wrote: > Greetings to all, > > I'm recently purchased a Alphaserver DS10.
