Phone: +44 181 442 9037 If it is just the fwupdate then no you cant go from alphabios to srm. srm for LX boards has a price/license , you need a srm-image to use fwupdate .. I however was able to convince ppl at digital to send it to me , I managed to convince them that i wouldnt use osf/1 just *bsd. So the licensing issue was no longer a problem.. this problem only occurs with the LX boards i think. f.e the multia doesnt have this licensing issue and the rom-image can be found at ftp.digital.com .. -- /Khaled, Telia Network Services :hacker: /n./ [originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
