Alpha AXP SRM Firmware Version - 311

[ snip ]

My only (&*^^(@ problem now is that D'Unix 4.0 refuses to boot with this
ancient console. Sigh. Probably means I need to get an old D'Unix CD or
try all the intermediate firmware CDs to see when it starts to break..

>> This remark proved to be bogus, D'Unix 4.0 killed itself over a not 
completely right setup EISA config. It does run with 311 SRM, 
although that's not supported bij Digital.

Anyway, I'm finally in netboot business.
