Dear Gallatin-san and sirs
>Remove the card & use a serial console.
I did and could enteredto SRM.
I did set pci_device_override -1

Digital Personal WorkStation 600au Console V6.5-145

>>>set pci_device_override -1
>>>show pci*
pci_device_override ffffffff
pci_parity off

After then, I rebooted the system, but the situation did not changed.

I moved the display card(Powerstorm) to 32bit slots.
The system booted succesfuly. But, In booting second floppy(mfsroot.flp), it
became panic.
I changed Displaycard from pstorm to matrox and did set pci_device_override 0,
and move displaycard to 64bits.
The system booted successfuly and became installed with FreeBSD4.0/Alpha.
It is very strange for me. After installation, I will try Pstorm,again.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely
Y.NISHIMURA
P.S.
Test result of boot to SRM(pci_device_override=-1)
Display Card Slot4(64bits PCI) Slot3(32bits)
PStorm NG OK
Matrox OK OK
Test result of boot of freebsd
Display Card pci_device_override=0 pci_device_override=-1
PStorm(Slot3) NG NG
Matrox (slot4) OK OK
Now, I am using the system with matrox and pci_device_override=0
