Hi all, Apologies if this has been covered before, but this afternoon I’ve successfully booted NetBSD/alpha 9.1 on AXPbox (an emulator forked from es40). NetBSD is listed as a Guest but lists SCSI as an issue and suggests IDE - I couldn’t get IDE to work and used SCSI. I’ve got further than is documented. I used this as a guide: I was able to get through the minimal installation. The config at the end of this e-mail worked for me (es40.cfg). You will need the rom file (see the OpenVMS installation guide). Booting from the CD looks like this: P00>>>show device dka0.0.0.1.0 DKA0 RZ58 2000 dka100.1.0.1.0 DKA100 RRD42 4.5d dva0.0.0.1000.0 DVA0 pka0.7.0.1.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7 P00>>>boot dka100 On booting after installation, the emulator has boot flags set to 0 and they need to be set to a for NetBSD to come up multi user (it comes up in single user otherwise). P00>>>set boot_osflags a P00>>>boot dka0 Next I need to go and figure out if there are any network options, but it is booting at least with minimal effort.
