Alpha machines are NOT like PCs. There are - considerable differences between the various core logic - chip sets and mainboard designs. This means that a kernel - needs to know the intimate details of a particular - machine before it can run on it. Throwing some odd <tt - class="FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> kernel at unknown hardware - is almost guaranteed to fail miserably.</p> - - <p>For a machine even to be considered for FreeBSD use - please make sure it has the SRM console firmware - installed. Or at least make sure that SRM console - firmware is available for the particular machine type. If - FreeBSD does not currently support your machine type, - there is a good chance that this will change at some - point in time, assuming SRM is available. All bets are - off when SRM console firmware is not available.</p> - - <p>Machines with the ARC or AlphaBIOS console firmware - were intended for WindowsNT. Some have SRM console - firmware available in the system ROMs which you only have - to select (via an ARC or AlphaBIOS menu). In other cases - you will have to re-flash the ROMs with SRM code. Check - on http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware to see - what is available for your particular system. In any - case: no SRM means <span class="emphasis"><i class= - "EMPHASIS">no</i></span> FreeBSD (or NetBSD, OpenBSD, - Tru64 Unix or OpenVMS for that matter). With the demise - of WindowsNT/alpha a lot of former NT boxes are sold on - the second hand market. They have little or no trade-in - value when they are NT-only from the console firmware - perspective. So, be suspicious if the price appears too - good.</p> - - <p>Known non-SRM machines are:</p> - - <ul> - <li> - <p>Digital XL series</p> - </li> - - <li> - <p>Digital XLT series</p> - </li> - - <li> - <p>Samsung PC164UX (``Ruffian'')</p> - </li> - - <li> - <p>Samsung 164B</p> - </li> - </ul> - - <p>Machines that have SRM but are not supported by - FreeBSD are:</p> - - <ul> - <li> - <p>DECpc 150 (``Jensen'')</p> - </li> - - <li> - <p>DEC 2000/300 (``Jensen'')</p> - </li> - - <li> - <p>DEC 2000/500 (``Culzean'')</p> - </li> - - <li> - <p>AXPvme series (``Medulla'')</p> - </li> - </ul> - - <p>To complicate things a bit further: Digital used to - have so called ``white-box'' Alpha machines destined as - NT-only and ``blue-box'' Alpha machines destined for - OpenVMS and Digital Unix. These names are based on the - color of the cabinets, ``FrostWhite'' and ``TopGunBlue'' - respectively. Although you could put the SRM console - firmware on a whitebox, OpenVMS and Digital Unix will - refuse to boot on them. FreeBSD in post-4.0-RELEASE will - run on both the white and the blue-box variants. Before - someone asks: the white ones had a rather different - (read: cheaper) Digital price tag.</p> - - <p>As part of the SRM you will get the so called OSF/1 - PAL code (OSF/1 being the initial name of Digital's UNIX - offering on Alpha). The PAL code can be thought of as a - software abstraction layer between the hardware and the - operating system. It uses normal CPU instruction plus a - handful of privileged instructions specific for PAL use. - PAL is not microcode. The ARC console firmware contains a - different PAL code, geared towards WinNT and in no way - suitable for use by FreeBSD (or more generic: Unix or - OpenVMS). Before someone asks: Linux/alpha brings its own - PAL code, allowing it to boot on ARC and AlphaBIOS. There - are various reasons why this is not a very good idea in - the eyes of the *BSD folks. I don't want to go into - details here. If you are interested in the gory details - search the FreeBSD and NetBSD web sites.</p> - - <p>There is another pitfall ahead: you will need a disk - adapter that the SRM console firmware recognizes in order - to be able to boot from a disk. What is acceptable to SRM - as a boot adapter is unfortunately highly system and SRM - version dependent. For older PCI based machines it means - you will need either a NCR/Symbios 53C810 based adapter, - or a Qlogic 1020/1040 based adapter. Some machines come - with a SCSI chip embedded on the mainboard. Newer machine - designs and SRM versions will be able to work with more - modern SCSI chips/adapters. Check out the machine - specific info below. Please note that the rest of this - discussion only refers to Symbios chips, this is meant to - include the older chips that still have NCR stamped on - them. Symbios bought NCR sometime.</p> - - <p>The problem might bite those who have machines that - started their lives as WindowsNT boxes. The ARC or - AlphaBIOS knows about <span class="emphasis"><i class= - "EMPHASIS">other</i></span> adapter types that it can - boot from than the SRM. For example you can boot from an - Adaptec 2940UW with ARC/AlphaBios but (generally) not - with SRM. Some newer machine types have introduced - Adaptec boot support. Please consult the machine specific - section for details.</p> - - <p>Most adapters that cannot be booted from work fine for - data-only disks. The differences between SRM and ARC - could also get you pre-packaged IDE CDROMs and hard - drives in some (former WindowsNT) systems. SRM versions - exist (depends on the machine type) that can boot from - IDE disks and CDROMs. Check the machine specific section - for details.</p> - - <p>FreeBSD 4.0 and later can be booted from the - distribution CDROM. Earlier versions needed booting from - a 2 disk floppy set.</p> - - <p>In order to be bootable the root partition (partition - a) must be at offset 0 of the disk drive. This means you - have to use the installer's partitioning menu and start - with assigning partition a at offset 0 to the root - partition. Subsequently layout the rest of the partitions - to your liking. If you do not adhere to this rule the - install will proceed just fine, but the system will not - be bootable from the freshly installed disk.</p> - - <p>If you don't have/want a local disk drive you can boot - via the Ethernet. This assumes an Ethernet adapter/chip - that is recognized by the SRM console. Generally speaking - this boils down to either a 21040 or 21142 or 21143 based - Ethernet interface. Older machines or SRM versions may - not recognize the 21142 / 21143 Fast Ethernet chips, you - are then limited to using 10Mbit Ethernet for net booting - those machines. Non-DEC cards based on said chips will - generally (but are not guaranteed to) work. Note that - Intel took over the 21x4x chips when it bought Digital - Semiconductor. So you might see an Intel logo on them - these days. Recent machine designs have SRM support for - Intel 8255x Ethernet chips.</p> - - <p>Alpha machines can be run with SRM on a graphics - console or on a serial console. ARC can also be run on a - serial consoles if need be. VT100 emulation with 8 bit - controls should at least allow you to switch from - ARC/AlphaBIOS to SRM mode without having to install a - graphics card first.</p> - - <p>If you want to run your Alpha machine without a - monitor/graphics card just don't connect a keyboard/mouse - to the machine. Instead hook up a serial - terminal[emulator] to serial port #1. The SRM will talk - 9600N81 to you. This can also be really practical for - debugging purposes. Beware: some/most (?) SRMs will also - present you with a console prompt at serial port #2. The - booting kernel, however, will display the boot messages - on serial port #1 and will also put the console there. - <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">This can be - extremely confusing.</i></span></p> - - <p>Most PCI based Alphas can use ordinary PC-type VGA - cards. The SRM contains enough smarts to make that work. - It does not, however, mean that each and every PCI VGA - card out on the street will work in an Alpha machine. - Things like S3 Trio64, Mach64, and Matrox Millennium - generally work. Old ET4000 based ISA cards have also - worked for me. But ask around first before buying.</p> - - <p>Most PCI devices from the PC-world will also work in - FreeBSD PCI-based machines. Check the <tt class= - "FILENAME">/sys/alpha/conf/GENERIC</tt> file for the - latest word on this. Check the appropriate machine type's - discussion in case you want to use PCI cards that have - PCI bridge chips on them. In some cases you might - encounter problems with PCI cards not handling PCI parity - correctly. This can lead to panics. PCI parity checking - can be disabled using the following SRM command:</p> -<pre class="SCREEN"> - <tt class="PROMPT">>>></tt> <tt class= -"USERINPUT"><b>SET PCI_PARITY OFF</b></tt> -</pre> - - <p>This is not a FreeBSD problem, all operating systems - running on Alpha hardware will need this workaround.</p> - - <p>If your system (also) contains EISA expansion slots - you will need to run the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) - after you have installed EISA cards or after you have - upgraded your console firmware.</p> - - <p>For Alpha CPUs you will find multiple generations. The - original Alpha design is the 21064. It was produced in a - chip process called MOS4, chips made in this process are - nicknamed EV4. Newer CPUs are 21164, 21264 etc. You will - see designations like EV4S, EV45, EV5, EV56, EV6, EV67, - EV68. The EVs with double digit numbers are slightly - improved versions. For example EV45 has an improved FPU - and 16 kByte on-chip separate I & D caches compared - to the EV4 on which it is based. Rule of thumb: the - higher the digit immediately following ``EV'' the more - desirable (read: faster / more modern).</p> - - <p>For memory you want at least 32 Mbytes. I have had - FreeBSD run on a 16 Mbyte system but you will not enjoy - that. Kernel build times halved when I went to 32 Mbytes. - Note that the SRM console steals 2Mbyte from the total - system memory (and keeps it). For more serious work 64 - Mbytes or more are recommended.</p> - - <p>While on the subject of memory: pay close attention to - the type of memory your machine uses. There are very - different memory configurations and requirements for the - various machines.</p> - - <p>Final word: I expect the above to sound a bit daunting - to the first-time Alpha user. Don't be daunted too much. - And do feel free to ask questions if something is not - clear after reading this document.</p> - </div> - - <div class="SECT2"> - <hr> - - <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN104">2.3 System-specific - information</a></h2> - - <p>Below is an overview of the hardware that FreeBSD runs - on.

The MCA bus is not supported. The EISA bus is not - supported for use with EISA expansion cards as the EISA - support code is lacking. ISA cards in EISA slots are - reported to work. The Compaq Qvision EISA VGA card is - driven in ISA mode and works OK as a console.</p> - - <p>1.44 Mbyte and 1.2 Mbyte floppy drives are supported. - 2.88 Mbyte drives sometimes found in Alpha machines are - supported up to 1.44Mbyte.</p> - - <p>ATA and ATAPI (IDE) devices are supported via the <a - href= - "http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current"> - <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class= - "REFENTRYTITLE">ata</span>(4)</span></a> driver - framework.

The plain TGA adapter does not - emulate VGA and is therefore not usable for a FreeBSD - console. TGA2 cards have a basic VGA compatibility mode - and work fine as FreeBSD consoles.</p> - - <p>The ``PC standard'' serial ports found on most Alphas - are supported.
