I was there at the time, oddly enough, and lo and behold my AS200 only has enough flash for one system at a time. > It is fully supported on the alphastation 200's and not just possible. Looks like a misreading of the update documentation on my part; there's a caution that it's not possible to update from the ARC console for this release in the release notes, but on rereading it it's no longer clear whether it simply shares the same numerical confusion as the rest of the document or whether it really does just apply to ARC 4.41 and the AS400. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
