Nothing earth shattering, but I just wanted to report a successful
boot of the 960615 snapshot disk image on an old 166Mhz Mustang II.
The semi interesting part is that this box has got the latest firmware
from
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/v3.6/alpha200/as200_v5_6.exe
installed (as I was in the midst of upgrading the box to DU 4.0) & it
was quite happy to be booted from a Jaz drive. As I said, nothing
remarkable, but I just wanted to offer a little positive feedback.
Also, anybody have any idea if/when XFree will be coming to
NetBSD/Alpha or Digital UNIX? I've noticed that their 3.1.2E
distribution includes a server for Linux/alpha. I only care because
I've got some Mustangs with ATI Mach64-CX cards & not TGA cards..
Thanks,
Drew
