Hello,
Thanks to everyone involved in NetBSD/Alpha for an excellent OS.
I picked up an AlphaStation 200 from webauction and I'm trying to
install NetBSD/Alpha on it. I'm getting somewhat random palcode,
system hardware errors during the install. At first I though that
my choice of harddisk might be causing a problem, so I'm attempted
to do it diskless (drive physically removed).
I have two questions, if someone could be nice enough to answer:
0) What version of the firmware is reported to work? (tried 6.8/6.9)
1) Are there any commands in the SRM for doing diagnostics?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
