In an attempt to get my 3000/600 netbooting, I'm thinking the first
thing to tackle is the SRM firmware. I've got a working mopd working on
a Linux box, (gets a VAXstation going okay), but the Alpha won't boot
the v7.0 firmware, (very "chicken and egg" :-)

I get the following:

AUDIT_BOOT_STARTS ...
AUDIT_BOOT_REQ M400_V7_0
AUDIT_BSERVER_FOUND
AUDIT_LOAD_BEGINS
AUDIT_LOAD_DONE

?05 HLT INSTR
  PC= 00000000.20000004 PSL= 00000000.00001F00

>>> _

Can someone point out which number my SRM version is, I suspect it's
3.2:

>>> sh config

DEC 3000 - M600
Digital Equipment Corporation
     VPP PAL X5.47-82000101/OSF PAL X1.34-82000201 - Built on 15-DEC-1993 14:00:03.84

                ASIC      OK
...

Does my /600 suffer the same problem as the /400 listed in the
NetBSD/alpha FAQ?

I think I can master a boot tape using the original DU4 install,
providing I can get single user access. Will a QIC 250MB drive be an
okay medium for this?

Cheers

Matt
