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>In case you have problems making your selection of SRM 'stick', in other words if the -system falls back to AlphaBIOS after you selected the SRM console, it is time to check if -the battery of your CMOS clock/parameter RAM is empty. If so, a replacement battery most -likely fixes the issue.</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>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. Note that -fdisk is not used on FreeBSD running on Alpha, disks are directly labeled using -disklabel.</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"> -<samp class="PROMPT">>>></samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">SET PCI_PARITY OFF</kbd> -</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). -Spending money on anything less than an EV5 is not recommended. Hardware available for -free is a different matter of course.</p> - -<p>For memory you want at least 32 Mbytes. I have had FreeBSD run on a 16 Mbyte system -years ago 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 128 Mbytes or more are recommended. Although Alpha machines -typically can accommodate large to very large physical memory sizes, FreeBSD is limited -to 1 or 2 Gbytes (dependent on the core chipset) of RAM. This restriction is due to the -current implementation of the VM system.</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 /> -<h3 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN107" name="AEN107">2.3 System-specific information</a></h3> - -<p>Below is an overview of the hardware that FreeBSD runs on.

The Flash ROM is not big enough to hold both ARC -and SRM at the same time and allow software selection of alternate console code. But you -only need SRM anyway.</p> - -<p>Cache for the NoNames are 15 or 20 ns DIL chips. For a 256 kByte cache you want to -check your junked 486 mainboard. Chips for a 1 Mbyte cache are a rarer breed -unfortunately. Getting at least a 256kByte cache is recommended performance wise. -Cache-less they are really slow.</p> - -<p>The NoName mainboard has a PC/AT-standard power connector. It also has a power -connector for 3.3 Volts. No need to rush out to get a new power supply. The 3.3 Volts is -only needed in case you run 3.3 Volts PCI expansion boards.

This means that you cannot just upgrade to a MiataGL CPU board -(with the newer Pyxis chip) but that you will also need a different riser board. -Apparently an MX5 riser with a MiataGL CPU board will work but it is definitely not a -supported or tested configuration. Everything else (cabinet, wiring, etc.) is identical -for MX5 and MiataGL.</p> - -<p>MX5 has problems with DMA via the 2 64-bit PCI slots when this DMA crosses a page -boundary.

Pitfall for the -Qlogic is that the firmware that is down-loaded by the SRM onto the Qlogic chip is very -old. There are no updates for the EB64+ SRM available. So you are stuck with old Qlogic -bits too. I have had quite some problems when I wanted to use Ultra-SCSI drives on the -Alpine with Qlogic.

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.

Those of you interested in U160 SCSI might want to take a look -at an Adaptec 39160 dual channel LVD U160 adapter.
