Message-ID: <20011226180952.W2741-100000@proxy.chain.loc> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm in the position to buy a used Alpha motherboard with 256MB RAM and a 533 MHz CPU. It has 2MB cache, 2 ISA slots, 2 64-bit PCI slots and 2 32-bit PCI slots, so I *think* this is a PC164LX board. The seller says the BIOS is version 5.60-3. Now the question is: will 4.4-STABLE work on this board? Does it boot from large, modern IDE disks (ie. a 40 GB one)? Thanks, Sven If I can have honesty, it's easier to overlook mistakes. -- Kirk, "Space Seed", stardate 3141.9 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
