I just got the XL 266. It comes up with VGA/VBE BIOS V1.5 and
then goes into Alpha firmare V 4.41, has a 1GB quantum drive
with NT. I bought a 6.4 GB Quantum on which a friend loaded
netbsd (he also runs an alpha), also have DE450 ehternet and
Matrox Millenium.
Can't boot netbsd. Got any suggestions? Unable to break with
^c at monitor level before entering firmware.
If I try booting using firmware, it comes back with
"File System not recognized" it is obviously looking for
FAT or NTFS
