IIRC, AlphaXL systems, AlphaPC64's, the newer Samsung boards and a few others have only ARC or AlphaBIOS. Really, the set of systems without SRM is small, and the set of systems which are interesting these days which only have SRM is decreasing. (really, only the samsung boards are left, right?) Even things like (at least some of) the white-box systems have SRM (e.g. the 330x boxes you can get on Onsale right now). cgd -- Chris Demetriou - cgd@netbsd.org - http://www.netbsd.org/People/Pages/cgd.html Disclaimer: Not speaking for NetBSD, just expressing my own opinion.
