Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 19:28:16 -0400 Sender: linux-alpha-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <3E95FE10.5030509@ameritech.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org I just bought a used AlphaPC 164LX system. (Well, actually, a motherboard and some cards in a case...calling it a system yet would be a bit deceptive. ;) ) It's currently got AlphaBIOS 5.6, and I want to switch it over to SRM. I can't seem to do this, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. DEC's instructions make it sound so easy. ;) I downloaded LX164SRM.ROM and put it on a FAT format floppy. But when I choose the "AlphaBIOS Update" option in the AlphaBIOS Setup screen, it just prompts me to insert the disk containing the firmware update utility. I tried putting in a disk with fwupdate.exe, instead, and got that to load, but it isn't clear to me how I get it to install my ROM file. Any help would be much appreciated.
