I'm pretty new to Alpha hardware but nevertheless I have a 164SX in front
of me, running NetBSD since a couple of days. Without too much knowledge
of the chipsets I realized that the differences between the Intel PCI-ISA
bridge (sio) and the Cypress chip is very small from NetBSD's point of view.
Actually; most of the setup is done by the SRM. Provided below is my trivial
diffs to get NetBSD to run on this machine; this is probably not the correct
way to do this but it works.
Comment:
The BROKEN_PROM_CONSOLE fix seems to do ugly things to other machines
than my as well. Maybe it should not be turned on by default?
Question:
My machine is equipped with a IDE disk, NE2000 ethernet and Matrox graphics.
Everything works fine but I would like to be able to run X on this machine.
How is the correct way of making the X server work? I think that just doing
some small hacks would be easy but it's better to DTRT from start.
