Hello,
	I have a DEC Alpha that doesn't exist...  As I understand, DEC
made about 5,000 of these "Easy Web Servers," but then at the last moment
decided not to support them.  Subsequently they sold them at cost which is
where I got mine.  I think it's a "Multia."  It comes with 32 MB RAM, a
1.+ GIG HD, a Floppy, an Ethernet card (10bT, AUI, BNC), a SCSI port, a
parallel port, a serial port, and two PCMCIA ports (the SCSI is in the
DEC's only PCI slot).  The reason I tell you all of that is because I
don't know for sure what model it is.  From all that I have read, it 
sounds like it's a 166 mHz "Multia" (oh yeah, it is a 166 mHz CPU), but 
it came with absolutely zero documentation-- actually, it comes with a 
regulatory power compliance sheet, a pictorial on how to hook-up the 
key-board, etc, another pictorial on how to install more 72pin SIMMs, and 
a "How to setup Netscape Communciations Server Software."  It comes 
preloaded with NT 3.51 on it...


I want to put NetBSD on it, and I have read all of the 
www.netbsd.org...alpha stuff on the topic.

I FTP'd the "rz25-image" and uncompressed it and then put the 400+ MB 
file on the Dec.

Uh...  now what?  This is where I get really, really confussed...

I'm not sure if I should fiddle around in the boot-setup-program (that 
gives me different options, such as, what OS to load, to run a program, 
to set-up some configuration information, etc.)-- or to take a different 
route.

If I were to follow the directions in the NetBSD/Alpha/Readme, then I 
need an NT-Alpha ``dd'' command...  hmmmm.

Please help.

I understand if you are busy and do not have time for detailed 
descriptions and step-by-step procedures--  I just need a little hint...

Thank you.

Chris.
