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
