Hi,

I just got AlphaServer DS10 working (replaced bad PSU capacitors, 3.3V rail was only 2.7V).

SRM supports booting from 3X-DEGXA-T* (Broadcom 570x), but NetBSD can't be installed from it.

Could you add bge driver to the installer kernel?

I can of course use the network ports on the motherboard, they are detected fine, but would like the gigabit speed.
