It seems to be unique to you. Or maybe CIA chipset specific? Anyway, to figure out what’s happening, I’m going to need to build you another image with some additional debugging in it. Stay tuned, I’m planning to poke at it today. BTW - is it possible for you to set up a net-boot server for your Alpha? It would make the turn-around a /lot/ faster.
Well, I guess? At the moment I am not sure what is needed to net boot a NetBSD machine and I will figure that out using an x86 machine first. The idea is that the netboot server will be some FreeBSD server with aspecific MAC address and target client machine which will be some x86 thing. Just to get it all working. I assume BOOTp and TFTP and NFS are
required. However, to netboot a DEC Alpha there would need to be some command magic that happens after "init". -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken
