The SRM console doesn't work with NT. However, some alphas have
enough flash RAM to have both ARC and SRM consoles in firmware at
the same time. Given one of these, I suspect you could put NT on
the lowest-numbered SCSI drive and boot it from there with ARC,
and put NetBSD on another SCSI drive which you could certainly boot
with the SRM console. (SRM will boot any drive you like.)
