I remember having problems with this, but I can't remember what I did to fix them. It's probably easiest just to boot off a cdrom, if that's possible for you. Download the 'cdboot.iso' image via ftp from current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/, burn it to a cd, and then 'boot dka500' (or similar, see the 'show dev' output from the SRM >>> prompt), should boot off the cd with no problems. CD installs are *far* easier on on Alpha, to the point that floppy-boot installs have been deprectated in 5.1-CURRENT as of a few weeks ago. You could also boot off a floppy and load the mlx module from a cd, I suppose, but I've not tried that. -Adam _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
