Umm. That the _easy_ bit. The SRM and ARC consoles know how to change from
one to the other. SRM -> ARC is the os_type environment variable (I think).
ARC -> SRM is a menu option, then reboot.

I'm curious about whether it is possible to put a BSD image on a disk using
NT. I used OSF/1 to get NetBSD/Alpha onto a second disk on an AlphaStation
200 4/100. When I was running NT, though, I wasn't sure if there was a way
to use NT to do the equivalent of a 'dd' to the second disk.
