Like i said: DEC is being stupid here.

They've apparently included the files on the CD-ROM, but _NOT_ on the
FTP site, so they can charge more for the boxes with SRM console
firmware.


worth noting: the AlphaPC64(+?) isn't currently supported by
NetBSD/alpha, but it should be relatively easy to make it go.
