+ <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN37">2.2 In general, what do
+ you need to run FreeBSD on an Alpha?</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Obviously you will need an Alpha machine that FreeBSD
+ knows about. 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 <i class="EMPHASIS">no</i> 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</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Samsung 164B</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <br>
+ <br>
+
+ <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 <i class="EMPHASIS">other</i>
+ 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 partiton 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. <i
+ class="EMPHASIS">This can be extremely confusing.</i></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. Please
+ note that TGA-based cards are not currently supported as
+ FreeBSD console display cards. Digital ZLXp-xx cards are
+ often found in Alpha machines and are TGA based. You will
+ either have to use a serial console or another display
+ card.</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">&gt;&gt;&gt;</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.
+ The EVs with double digit numbers are slightly improved
+ versions. For example EV45 has an improved FPU and 16
+ kByte on-chip separate I &amp; 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>

+
+ <p>Below is an overview of the hardware that FreeBSD runs
+ on. This list will definitely grow, a look in <tt class=

+ (``NoName'')</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The NoName is a baby-AT mainboard based on the 21066
+ LCA (Low Cost Alpha) processor. NoName was originally
+ designed for OEM-use. The LCA chip includes almost all
+ of the logic to drive a PCI bus and the memory
+ subsystem. All of this makes for a low-priced
+ design.</p>
+
+ <p>Due to the limited memory interface the system is
+ not particularly fast in case of cache misses. As long
+ as you stay inside the on-chip cache the CPU is
+ comparable to a 21064 (first generation Alpha). These
+ boards should be very cheap to obtain these days. It is
+ a full-fledged 64 bit CPU, just don't expect miracles
+ as far as speed goes.</p>
+
+ <p>Features:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>21066 Alpha CPU at 166 MHz or 21066A CPU at
+ 233MHz. 21068 CPUs are also possible, but are even

+ </ul>
+ <br>
+ <br>
+
+ <p>NoNames can either have SRM <i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">or</i> ARC console firmware in their Flash
+ ROM. 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. These are quite rare.</p>
+
+ <p>The IDE interface is supported by FreeBSD and
+ requires a line in the kernel configuration file as
+ follows:</p>
+<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">
+ device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
+</pre>
+
+ <p>The SRM console unfortunately <i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">cannot boot</i> from IDE disks. This means
+ you will have to use a SCSI disk as the boot
+ device.</p>
+
+ <p>The NoName is somewhat stubborn when it comes to
+ serial consoles. It needs</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ &gt;&gt;&gt; <tt class=
+"USERINPUT"><b>SET CONSOLE SERIAL</b></tt>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>before it goes for a serial console. Pulling the
+ keyboard from the machine is not sufficient, like it is
+ on most other Alpha models. Going back to a graphical
+ console needs</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ &gt;&gt;&gt; <tt class=
+"USERINPUT"><b>SET CONSOLE GRAPHICS</b></tt>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>at the serial console.</p>
+
+ <p>There have been reports that you sometimes need to
+ press <b class="KEYCAP">Control</b>-<b class=
+ "KEYCAP">Alt</b>-<b class="KEYCAP">Del</b> to capture
+ the SRM's attention. I have never seen this myself, but
+ it is worth trying if you are greeted by a blank screen
+ after powerup.</p>
+
+ <p>Make sure you use true 36 bit SIMMs, and only FPM
+ (Fast Page Mode) DRAM. EDO DRAM or SIMMs with fake
+ parity <i class="EMPHASIS">will not work</i>. The board
+ uses the 4 extra bits for ECC. 33 bit FPM SIMMs will
+ for the same reason not work.</p>
+
+ <p>Given the choice, get the PS/2-variant mainboard.
+ Apart from giving you a mouse port as bonus it is
+ directly supported by Tru64 Unix in case you ever want
+ or need to run it. The ``DIN-plug''-variant should work
+ OK for FreeBSD.</p>
+
+ <p>The <a href=

+
+ <p>Multia has only one 32 bit PCI slot for expansion,

+
+ <p>The CPU might or might not be socketed, check this

+
+ <p>It comes with a TGA based graphics on-board. TGA is

+ <p>Multia has 2 serial ports but routes both of them to
+ the outside world on a single 25 pin sub-D connector.
+ The Multia FAQ explains how to build your own Y-cable
+ to allow both ports to be used.</p>
+
+ <p>Although the Multia SRM supports booting from floppy
+ this can be problematic. Typically the errors look
+ like:</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ *** Soft Error - Error #10 - FDC: Data overrun or underrun
+</pre>
+
+ <p>This is not a FreeBSD problem, it is a SRM problem.
+ The best available workaround to install FreeBSD is to
+ boot from a SCSI CDROM.</p>
+
+ <p>There have been reports that you sometimes need to
+ press <b class="KEYCAP">Control</b>-<b class=
+ "KEYCAP">Alt</b>-<b class="KEYCAP">Del</b> to capture
+ the SRM's attention. I have never seen this myself, but
+ it is worth trying when you are greeted by a blank
+ screen after powerup.</p>
+
+ <p>Sound works fine using <a href=
+ "http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pcm&amp;sektion=4">
+ <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
+ "REFENTRYTITLE">pcm</span>(4)</span></a> driver and a
+ line in the kernel configuration file as follows for

+
+ <p>I have not yet been successful in getting my Multia
+ with the AD1848 to play any sound.</p>
+
+ <p>While verifying playback I was reminded of the lack
+ of CPU power of the 166MHz CPU. MP3 only plays
+ acceptable using 22kHz down-sampling.</p>
+
+ <p>Multias are somewhat notorious for dying of heat
+ strokes. The very compact box does not really allow
+ access to cooling air. Please use the Multia on its
+ vertical stand, don't put it horizontally (``pizza
+ style''). Replacing the fan with something which pushes
+ around more air is really recommended. You can also cut
+ one of the wires to the fan speed sensor. Once cut, the
+ fan runs at a (loud) full speed. Beware of PCI cards
+ with high power consumption. If your system has died
+ you might want to check the Multia-Heat-Death pages at
+ the <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/" target=
+ "_top">NetBSD Web site</a> for help in reviving it.</p>
+
+ <p>The Intel 82378ZB PCI to ISA bridge enables the use
+ of an IDE disk. This requires a line in the kernel
+ configuration file as follows:</p>
+<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">
+ device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
+</pre>
+
+ <p>The IDE connector pin spacing is thought for 2.5"
+ laptop disks. A 3.5" IDE disk would not fit in the case
+ anyway. At least not without sacrificing your only PCI
+ slot. The SRM console unfortunately does not know how
+ to boot from IDE disks. You will need to use a SCSI
+ disk as the bootdisk.</p>
+
+ <p>In case you want to change the internal hard drive:
+ the internal flat cable running from the PCI riser
+ board to the <i class="EMPHASIS">2.5"</i> hard drive
+ has a finer pitch than the standard SCSI flat cables.
+ Otherwise it would not fit on the 2.5" drives. There
+ are also riser cards that have a standard-pitch SCSI
+ cable attached to it, which will fit an ordinary SCSI
+ disk.</p>
+
+ <p>Again, I recommend against trying to cram a
+ replacement hard disk inside. Use the external SCSI
+ connector and put your disk in an external enclosure.
+ Multias run hot enough as-is. In most cases you will
+ have the external high density 50-pin SCSI connector
+ but some Multia models came without disk and may lack
+ the connector. Something to check before buying
+ one.</p>
+
+ <p>The kernel configuration file for a Multia kernel
+ must contain:</p>
+<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">
+ options DEC_AXPPCI_33
+ cpu EV4

+ Workstation (``Miata'')</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The Miata is a small tower machine intended to be
+ put under a desk. There are multiple Miata variants.
+ The original Miata is the MX5 model. Because it suffers
+ from a number of hardware design flaws a redesign was
+ done, yielding the MiataGL. Unfortunately the variants
+ are not easily distinguishable at first sight from the
+ outside of the case. An easy check is to see if the
+ back of the machine sports two USB connectors. If yes,
+ it is a MiataGL. MX5 models tend to be more common in
+ the used system market place.</p>
+
+ <p>System designations look like ``Personal Workstation
+ 433a''. Personal Workstation, being a bit of a
+ mouthful, is often abbreviated to PWS. This means it
+ has a 433 MHz CPU, and started life as a WinNT
+ workstation (the trailing ``a''). Systems designated
+ from day 1 to run Tru64 Unix or OpenVMS will sport
+ ``433au''. WinNT-Miatas are likely to come
+ pre-configured with an IDE CDROM drive. So, in general
+ systems are named like PWS[433,500,600]a[u].</p>
+
+ <p>There was also a Miata model with a special CPU
+ cooling system by Kryotech. The Kryotech has a special
+ cooling system and is housed in a different
+ enclosure.</p>

+ <br>
+ <br>
+
+ <p>The Miata logic is divided into two printed circuit
+ boards. The lower board in the bottom of the machine
+ has the PCI and ISA slots and things like the sound
+ chip etc. The top board has the CPU, the Pyxis chip,
+ memory etc. Note that MX5 and the MiataGL use a
+ different PCI riser board. 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. The 32 bit slots
+ don't have this problem because the PCI-PCI bridge chip
+ does not allow the offending transfers. The SRM code
+ knows about the problem and refuses to start the system
+ if there is a PCI card in one of the 64bit slots that
+ it does not know about. Cards that are ``known good''
+ to the SRM are allowed to be used in the 64bit
+ slots.</p>
+
+ <p>If you want to fool the SRM you can type <tt class=
+ "USERINPUT"><b>set pci_device_override</b></tt> at the
+ SRM prompt. Just don't complain if your data
+ mysteriously gets mangled.</p>
+
+ <p>The complete command is:</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ <tt class="PROMPT">&gt;&gt;&gt;</tt> <tt class=
+"USERINPUT"><b>SET PCI_DEVICE_OVERRIDE <tt class=
+"REPLACEABLE"><i>&lt;vendor_id&gt;</i></tt><tt class=
+"REPLACEABLE"><i>&lt;device_id&gt;</i></tt></b></tt>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>For example:</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ <tt class="PROMPT">&gt;&gt;&gt;</tt> <tt class=
+"USERINPUT"><b>SET PCI_DEVICE_OVERRIDE 88c15333</b></tt>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>The most radical approach is to use:</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ <tt class="PROMPT">&gt;&gt;&gt;</tt> <tt class=
+"USERINPUT"><b>SET PCI_DEVICE_OVERRIDE -1</b></tt>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>This disables PCI ID checking altogether, so that
+ you can install any PCI card without its ID getting
+ checked. For this to work you need a reasonable current
+ SRM version.</p>

+</pre>
+
+ <p>MiataGL does not have the DMA problems of the MX5.
+ PCI cards that make the MX5 SRM choke when installed in
+ the 64bit slots are accepted without problems by the
+ MiataGL SRM.</p>
+
+ <p>The latest mainboard revisions of MX5 contain a
+ hardware workaround for the bug. The SRM does not know
+ about the ECO and will complain about unknown cards as
+ before. So does the FreeBSD kernel by the way.</p>
+
+ <p>The Miata SRM can boot from IDE CDROM drives. IDE
+ harddisk boot is known to work for both MiataGL and MX5
+ disks, so you can root FreeBSD from an IDE disk. Speeds
+ on MX5 are around 14 Mbytes/sec assuming a suitable
+ drive. Miata's CMD646 chip will support up to WDMA2
+ mode as the chip is too buggy for use with UDMA.</p>
+
+ <p>Miata MX5s generally use Qlogic 1040 based SCSI
+ adapters. These are bootable by the SRM console. Note
+ that Adaptec cards are <i class="EMPHASIS">not</i>
+ bootable by the Miata SRM console.</p>
+
+ <p>The MiataGL has a faster PCI-PCI bridge chip on the
+ PCI riser card than some of the MX5 riser card
+ versions. Some of the MX5 risers have the <i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">same</i> chip as the MiataGL. All in all
+ there is a lot of variation.</p>
+
+ <p>Not all VGA cards will work behind the PCI-PCI
+ bridge. This manifests itself as no video at all.
+ Workaround is to put the VGA card ``before'' the
+ bridge, in one of the 64 bit PCI slots.</p>
+
+ <p>Both MX5 and MiataGL have an on-board sound chip, an
+ ESS1888. It emulates a SoundBlaster and can be enabled
+ by putting</p>
+<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">
+ device pcm0
+ device sbc0
+</pre>
+
+ <p>in your kernel configuration file:</p>
+
+ <p>in case your Miata has the optional cache board
+ installed make sure it is firmly seated. A slightly
+ loose cache has been observed to cause weird crashes
+ (not surprising obviously, but maybe not so obvious
+ when troubleshooting). The cache module is identical
+ between MX5 and MiataGL.</p>
+
+ <p>Installing a 2Mb cache module achieves, apart from a
+ 10-15% speed increase (based on buildworld elapsed
+ time), a <i class="EMPHASIS">decrease</i> for PCI DMA
+ read bandwidth from 64bit PCI cards. A benchmark on a
+ 64-bit Myrinet card resulted in a decrease from 149
+ Mbytes/sec to 115 Mbytes/sec. Something to keep in mind
+ when doing really high speed things with 64 bit PCI
+ adapters.</p>
+
+ <p>If you experience SRM errors like</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ ERROR: scancode 0xa3 not supported on PCXAL
+</pre>
+
+ <p>after halting FreeBSD you should update your SRM
+ firmware to V7.2-1 or later. This SRM version is first

+

+ DEC3000/300-class is the lower-cost workstation
+ class.</p>
+
+ <p>DEC3000/500-class are quite fast (considering their

+ <p>Currently DEC3000 machines can only be used diskless
+ on FreeBSD. The reason for this is that the SCSI
+ drivers needed for the TC SCSI adapters were not
+ brought into CAM that the recent FreeBSD versions use.
+ TC option cards for single (PMAZ-A) or dual fast SCSI
+ (PMAZC-AA) are also available. These cards currently
+ have no drivers on FreeBSD either.</p>
+

+
+ <p>DEC3000/300 has 5 MBytes/sec SCSI on-board. This bus
+ is used for both internal and external devices.
+ DEC3000/500 has 2 SCSI buses. One is for internal
+ devices only, the other one is for external devices
+ only.</p>
+
+ <p>&#13;</p>
+
+ <p>Floppy devices found in the DEC3000s are attached to
+ the SCSI bus (via a bridge card). This makes it
+ possible to boot from them using the same device names
+ as ordinary SCSI hard-disks, for example:</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ <tt class="PROMPT">&gt;&gt;&gt;</tt> <tt class=
+"USERINPUT"><b>BOOT DKA300</b></tt>
+</pre>
+
+ <p>The 3000/300 series has a half-speed TurboChannel
+ compared to the other 3000 machines. Some TC expansion
+ cards have troubles with the half-speed bus. Caveat
+ emptor.</p>
+
+ <p>The embedded ISDN interface is not supported on
+ FreeBSD.</p>
+
+ <p>DEC3000/300-class uses standard 36 bit, 72 pin Fast
+ Page Mode SIMMs. EDO SIMMs, 32 or 33 bit SIMMs all will
+ not work in Pelicans. For 32Mbyte SIMMs to work on the
+ DEC3000/300-class the presence detect bits/pins of the
+ SIMM must correspond to what the machine expects. If
+ they don't, the SIMM is ``seen'' as a 8 Mbyte SIMM. 8
+ Mbyte and 32 Mbyte SIMMs can be mixed, as long as the
+ pairs themselves are identical.</p>
+
+ <p>When you find yourself in need of fixing 32Mbyte
+ SIMMs that lack correct presence bits the following
+ info might be of use:</p>
+
+ <p>There are four presence detection bits on PS/2
+ SIMMs. Two of the bits indicate the access time. The
+ other two indicate the memory size.</p>
+
+ <p>At one end of the SIMM there are two rows of four
+ solder pads. One row is connected to Vss (GND) and the
+ other is connected to pins 67 (PRD1), 68 (PRD2), 69
+ (PRD3), 70 (PRD4).</p>
+
+ <p>If you bridge a pair of pads with a small resistor
+ or a drop of solder you ground that particular bit.</p>

+
+ <p>Aspen Alpine is slightly different, but is close
+ enough to the EB64+ to run an EB64+ SRM EPROM (mine
+ did..). The Aspen Alpine does not have an embedded
+ Ethernet, has 3 instead of 2 PCI slots. It comes with 2
+ Mbytes of cache already soldered onto the mainboard. It
+ has jumpers to select the use of 60, 70 or 80ns SIMM
+ speeds.</p>
+
+ <p>36 bits SIMMs work fine, 3 bits simply remain
+ unused. Note the systems use Fast Page Mode memory, not
+ EDO memory.</p>
+
+ <p>The SRM console code is housed in an UV-erasable
+ EPROM. No easy flash SRM upgrades for the EB64+ The
+ latest SRM version available for EB64+ is quite ancient
+ anyway.</p>
+
+ <p>The EB64+ SRM can boot both 53C810 and Qlogic1040
+ SCSI adapters. 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
+ FreeBSD kernel can be compiled to include a much newer
+ Qlogic firmware revision. This is not the default
+ because it adds hundreds of kBytes worth of bloat to
+ the kernel. In FreeBSD 4.1 and later the isp firmware
+ is contained in a kernel loadable module. All of this
+ might mean that you need to use a non-Qlogic adapter to
+ boot from.</p>

+
+ <p>Using 8 SIMMs for a 256bit wide memory can yield
+ interesting speedups over a 4 SIMM/128bit wide memory.
+ Obviously all 8 SIMMs must be of the same type to make
+ this work. The system must be explicitly setup to use
+ the 8 SIMM memory arrangement. You must have 8 SIMMs, 4
+ SIMMs distributed over 2 banks will not work.</p>
+
+ <p>The SRM can boot from Qlogic 10xx boards or the
+ Symbios 53C810[A]. Newer Symbios 810 revisions like the
+ Symbios 810AE are not recognized by the SRM on PC164.
+ PC164 SRM does not appear to recognize a Symbios 53C895
+ based host adapter (tested with a Tekram DC-390U2W). On
+ the other hand some no-name Symbios 53C985 board has
+ been reported to work. Cards like the Tekram DC-390F
+ (Symbios875 based) have been confirmed to work fine on
+ the PC164. Unfortunately this seems to be dependent on
+ the actual version of the chip/board.</p>
+
+ <p>Symbios 53C825[a] will also work as boot adapter.
+ Diamond FirePort, although based on Symbios chips, is
+ not bootable by the PC164SX SRM. PC164SX is reported to
+ boot fine with Symbios825, Symbios875 and Symbios876
+ based cards. In addition, Adaptec 2940U and 2940UW are
+ reported to work for booting (verified on SRM V5.7-1).
+ Adaptec 2930U2 and 2940U2[W] do not work.</p>
+
+ <p>164LX and 164SX with SRM firmware version 5.8 or
+ later can boot from Adaptec 2940-series adapters.</p>
+
+ <p>In summary: this family of machines is ``blessed''
+ with a challenging compatibility as far as SCSI
+ adapters go.</p>
+
+ <p>On PC164 the SRM sometimes seems to loose its
+ variable settings. ``For PC164, current superstition
+ says that, to avoid losing settings, you want to first
+ downgrade to SRM 4.x and then upgrade to 5.x.'' One
+ sample error that was observed was:</p>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+ ERROR: ISA table corrupt!

+
+ <p>A sequence of a downgrade to SRM4.9, an</p>

+</pre>
+
+ <p>made the problem go away. Some PC164 owners report
+ they have never seen the problem.</p>
+
+ <p>On PC164SX the AlphaBIOS allows you a selection to
+ select SRM to be used as console on the next power up.
+ This selection does not appear to have any effect. In
+ other words, you will get the AlphaBIOS regardless of
+ what you select. The fix is to reflash the console ROM
+ with the SRM code for PC164SX. This will overwrite the
+ AlphaBIOS and will get you the SRM console you desire.
+ The SRM code can be found on the Compaq Web site.</p>
+
+ <p>164LX can either have the SRM console code or the
+ AlphaBIOS code in it's flash ROM because the flash ROM
+ is too small to hold both at the same time.</p>
+
+ <p>PC164 can boot from IDE disks assuming your SRM
+ version is recent enough.</p>
+
+ <p>EB164 needs a power supply that supplies 3.3 Volts.
+ PC164 does not implement the PS_ON signal that ATX
+ power supplies need to switch on. A simple switch
+ pulling this signal to ground allows you to run a
+ standard ATX power supply.</p>

+ <p>Early machines had Fast SCSI interfaces, later ones
+ are Ultra SCSI capable. AS500 shares its single SCSI
+ bus with internal and external devices. For a Fast SCSI
+ bus you are limited to 1.8 meters bus length external
+ to the box. +++ This is what some DEC docs suggest. Did
+ they ever go UltraSCSI?</p>
+
+ <p>AS600 has one Qlogic SCSI chip dedicated to the
+ internal devices whereas the other Qlogic SCSI chip is
+ dedicated to external SCSI devices.</p>
+
+ <p>In AS500 DIMMs are installed in sets of 4, in
+ ``physically interleaved'' layout. So, a bank of 4
+ DIMMs is <i class="EMPHASIS">not</i> 4 physically
+ adjacent DIMMs.</p>
+
+ <p>In AS600 the memory SIMMs are placed onto two memory
+ daughter cards. SIMMs are installed in sets of 8. Both
+ memory daughter cards must be populated
+ identically.</p>
+
+ <p>AS600 has a peculiarity for its PCI slots. AS600 (or
+ rather the PCI expansion card containing the SCSI
+ adapters) does not allow I/O port mapping, therefore
+ all devices behind it must use memory mapping. If you
+ have problems getting the Qlogic SCSI adapters to work,
+ add the following option to <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">/boot/loader.rc</tt>:</p>
+<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">

+
+ <p>This may need to be typed at the boot loader prompt

+
+ <p>The AlphaServer 1000 and 800 range of machines are
+ intended as departmental servers. They come in quite
+ some variations in packaging and mainboard/cpu.
+ Generally speaking there are 21064 (EV4) CPU based
+ machines and 21164 (EV5) based ones. The CPU is on a
+ daughter card, and the type of CPU (EV4 or EV5) must
+ match the mainboard in use.</p>
+
+ <p>AlphaServer 800 has a much smaller mini tower case,
+ it lacks the StorageWorks SCSI hot-plug chassis. The
+ main difference between AS1000 and AS1000A is that
+ AS1000A has 7 PCI slots whereas AS1000 only has 3 PCI
+ slots and has EISA slots instead.</p>
+
+ <p>AS800 with an EV5/400 MHz CPU was later re-branded
+ to become a ``DIGITAL Server 3300[R]'', AS800 with an

+ <p>AS1000 based machines come in multiple enclosure

+
+ <p>AS1000-systems: All EV4 based machines use standard
+ PS/2 style 36 bit 72pin SIMMs in sets of 5. The fifth
+ SIMM is used for ECC. All EV5 based machines use
+ standard PS/2 style 36 bit 72pin SIMMs in sets of 4.
+ The ECC is done based on the 4 extra bits per SIMM (4
+ bits out of 36). The EV5 mainboards have 16 SIMM slots,
+ the EV4 mainboards have 20 slots.</p>
+
+ <p>AS800 machines use DIMMs in sets of 4. DIMM
+ installation must start in slots marked bank 0. A bank
+ is four physically adjacent slots. The biggest size
+ DIMMs must be installed in bank 0 in case 2 banks of

+ Note that these are EDO DIMMs.</p>

+ (2100[A]) can be installed. Both floor-standing and 19"
+ rackmount boxes exist. Rackmount variations have
+ different numbers of I/O expansion slots, different max
+ number of CPUs and different maximum memory size. Some
+ of the boxes come with an integral StorageWorks shelf
+ to house hot-swap SCSI disks. There was an upgrade

+ <p>on the SRM console and power-cycle the machine. This
+ may be true for other modules (IO and memory) as well,
+ but it has not been verified.</p>
+
+ <p>The machines use dedicated memory boards. These
+ boards live on a 128 bit C-bus shared with the CPU
+ boards. DemiSable supports up to 1GB, Sable up to 2GB.
+ One of the memory bus slots can either hold a CPU or a
+ memory card. A 4 CPU machine can have a maximum of 2
+ memory boards.</p>
+
+ <p>Some memory board models house SIMMs. These are
+ called SIMM carriers. There are also memory modules
+ that have soldered-on memory chips instead of SIMMs.
+ These are called ``flat memory modules''.</p>
+
+ <p>SIMM boards are used in sets of eight 72-pin 36 bit
+ FPM memory of 70ns or faster. SIMM types supported are
+ 1Mb x36 bit (4 Mbyte) and 4Mb x36 bit (16 Mbyte). Each
+ memory board can house 4 banks of SIMMs. SIMM sizes can
+ not be mixed on a single memory board. The first memory
+ module must be filled with SIMMs before starting to
+ fill the next memory module. Note that the spacing
+ between the slots is not that big, so make sure your
+ SIMMs fit physically (before buying them..)</p>

+
+ <p>The machines are equipped with a small OCP (Operator

+
+ <p>AS2100[A] come equipped with a StorageWorks 7 slot
+ SCSI cage. A second cage can be added inside the
+ cabinet. AS2000 has a single 7 slot SCSI cage, which
+ cannot be expanded with an additional one. Note that
+ the slot locations in these cages map differently to
+ SCSI IDs compared to the standard StorageWorks shelves.
+ Slot IDs from top to bottom are 0, 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3
+ when using a single bus configuration.</p>
+
+ <p>The cage can also be set to provide two independent
+ SCSI buses. This is used for embedded RAID controllers
+ like the KZPSC (Mylex DAC960). Slot ID assignments for
+ split bus are, from top to bottom: 0A, 0B, 1A, 1B, 2A,
+ 2B, 3A, 3B. Where A and B signify a SCSI bus. In a
+ single bus configuration the terminator module on the
+ back of the SCSI cage is on the TOP. The jumper module
+ is on the BOTTOM. For split bus operation these two
+ modules are reversed. The terminator can be
+ distinguished from the jumper by noting the chips on
+ the terminator. The jumper does not have any active
+ components on it.</p>
+
+ <p>DemiSable has 7 EISA slots and 3 PCI slots. Sable
+ has 8 EISA and 3 PCI slots. Lynx, being newer, has 8
+ PCI and 3 EISA slots. The Lynx PCI slots are grouped in
+ sets of 4. The 4 PCI slots closest to the CPU/memory
+ slots are the primary slots, so logically before the
+ PCI bridge chip. Note that contrary to expectation the
+ primary PCI slots are the highest numbered ones (PCI4 -
+ PCI7).</p>
+
+ <p>Make sure you run the EISA Configuration Utility
+ (from floppy) when adding/change expansion cards in

+ <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN1443">2.4 Supported
+ Hardware Overview</a></h2>
+
+ <p>A word of caution: the installed base for FreeBSD is
+ not nearly as large as for FreeBSD/Intel. This means that
+ the enormous variation of PCI/ISA expansion cards out
+ there has much less chance of having been tested on alpha
+ than on Intel. This is not to imply they are doomed to
+ fail, just that the chance of running into something
+ never tested before is much higher. <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> contains things that are known to
+ work on Alpha only.</p>
+
+ <p>The PCI and ISA expansion busses are fully supported.
+ Turbo Channel is not in <tt class="FILENAME">GENERIC</tt>
+ and has limited support (see the relevant machine model
+ info). 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&amp;sektion=4">
+ <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
+ "REFENTRYTITLE">ata</span>(4)</span></a> driver
+ framework. As most people run their Alphas with SCSI
+ disks it is not as well tested as SCSI. Be aware of
+ boot-ability restrictions for IDE disks. See the machine
+ specific information.</p>
+
+ <p>There is full SCSI support via the CAM layer for
+ Adaptec 2940x (AIC7xxx chip-based), Qlogic family and
+ Symbios. Be aware of the machine-specific boot-ability
+ issues for the various adapter types.</p>
+
+ <p>The Qlogic QL2x00 FibreChannel host adapters are fully
+ supported.</p>
+
+ <p>If you want to boot your Alpha over the Ethernet you
+ will obviously need an Ethernet card that the SRM console
+ recognizes. This generally means you need a board with an
+ 21x4x Ethernet chip as that is what Digital used. These
+ chips are driven by the FreeBSD <a href=
+ "http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=de&amp;sektion=4">
+ <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
+ "REFENTRYTITLE">de</span>(4)</span></a> (older driver) or
+ <a href=
+ "http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dc&amp;sektion=4">
+ <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
+ "REFENTRYTITLE">dc</span>(4)</span></a> (newer driver).
+ Some new SRM versions are known to recognize the Intel
+ 8255x Ethernet chips as driven by the FreeBSD <a href=
+ "http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fxp&amp;sektion=4">
+ <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
+ "REFENTRYTITLE">fxp</span>(4)</span></a> driver. But
+ beware: the <a href=
+ "http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fxp&amp;sektion=4">
+ <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
+ "REFENTRYTITLE">fxp</span>(4)</span></a> driver is
+ reported not to work correctly with FreeBSD (although it
+ works excellently on FreeBSD/x86).</p>
+
+ <p>DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI network adapters are supported on
+ alpha.</p>
+
+ <p>In general the SRM console emulates a
+ VGA-compatibility mode on PCI VGA cards. This is,
+ however, not guaranteed to work by Compaq/DEC for each
+ and every card type out there. When the SRM thinks the
+ VGA is acceptable FreeBSD will be able to use it. The
+ console driver works just like on a FreeBSD/intel
+ machine. The TGA video graphics which is embedded on for
+ example Multia does <i class="EMPHASIS">not</i> work with
+ FreeBSD. TGA based PCI cards are also <i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">not</i> supported. Please note that VESA modes
+ are not supported on Alpha, so that leaves you with 80x25
+ consoles.</p>
+
+ <p>The ``PC standard'' serial ports found on most Alphas
+ are supported. For TurboChannel machines the serial ports
+ are also supported.</p>
+
+ <p>ISDN (i4b) is not supported on FreeBSD/alpha.</p>

+
+ <p>The FreeBSD kernel on the install floppy contains
+ drivers for every piece of hardware that could
+ conceivably be used to install the rest of the system
+ with. Unfortunately, PC hardware being what it is, some
+ of these devices can be difficult to detect accurately,
+ and for some, the process of detecting another can cause
+ irreversible confusion.</p>
+
+ <p>To make this process easier, FreeBSD provides
+ UserConfig. With this tool the user can configure and
+ disable device drivers before the kernel is loaded,
+ avoiding potential conflicts, and eliminating the need to
+ reconfigure hardware to suit the default driver
+ settings.</p>
+
+ <p>Once FreeBSD is installed, it will remember the
+ changes made using UserConfig, so that they only need be
+ made once.</p>
+
+ <p>It is important to disable drivers that are not
+ relevant to a system in order to minimize the possibility
+ of interference, which can cause problems that are
+ difficult to track down.</p>
+
+ <p>UserConfig features a command line interface for users
+ with serial consoles or a need to type commands, and a
+ full screen ``visual'' interface, which provides
+ point-and-shoot configuration functionality.</p>
+
+ <p>Here is a sample UserConfig screen shot in ``visual''
+ mode:</p>

+
+ <p>The screen is divided into four sections:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Active Drivers. Listed here are the device drivers
+ that are currently enabled, and their basic
+ parameters.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Inactive Drivers. These drivers are present, but
+ are disabled.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Parameter edit field. This area is used for
+ editing driver parameters.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Help area. Keystroke help is displayed here.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <br>
+ <br>
+
+ <p>One of the Active and Inactive lists is always in use,
+ and the current entry in the list will be shown with a
+ highlight bar. If there are more entries in a list than
+ can be shown, it will scroll. The bar can be moved up and
+ down using the cursor keys, and moved between lists with
+ the TAB key.</p>
+
+ <p>Drivers in the Active list may be marked <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">CONF</tt>. This indicates that one or more of
+ their parameters conflicts with another device, and
+ indicates a potential for problems. The total number of
+ conflicts is displayed at the top of the screen.</p>
+
+ <p>As a general rule, conflicts should be avoided, either
+ by disabling conflicting devices that are not present in
+ the system, or by altering their configuration so that
+ they match the installed hardware.</p>
+
+ <p>In the list areas, drivers are grouped by their basic
+ function. Groups can be <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">Collapsed</tt> to simplify the display (this is
+ the default state for all groups). If a group is
+ collapsed, it will be shown with <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">Collapsed</tt> in the list, as above. To Expand
+ a Collapsed group, position the highlight bar over the
+ group heading and press Enter. To Collapse it again,
+ repeat the process.</p>
+
+ <p>When a device driver in the Active list is
+ highlighted, its full parameters are displayed in the
+ Parameter edit area. Note that not all drivers use all
+ possible parameters, and some hardware supported by
+ drivers may not use all the parameters the driver
+ supports.</p>
+
+ <p>To disable a driver, go to the Active list, Expand the
+ group it is in, highlight the driver and press Del. The
+ driver will move to its group in the Inactive list. (If
+ the group is collapsed or off the screen, you may not see
+ the driver in its new location.)</p>
+
+ <p>To enable a driver, go to the Inactive list, Expand
+ the group it is in, highlight the driver and press Enter.
+ The highlight will move to the Active list, and the
+ driver you have just enabled will be highlighted, ready
+ to be configured.</p>
+
+ <p>To configure a driver, go to the Active list, Expand
+ the group it is in, highlight the driver and press Enter.
+ The cursor will move to the Parameter edit area, and the
+ device's parameters may be edited.</p>
+
+ <p>While editing parameters, the TAB and cursor keys can
+ be used to move between fields. Most numeric values
+ (except IRQ) are entered in hexadecimal, as indicated by
+ the '0x' at the beginning of the field. The allowable
+ values for a given field are show in the Key Help area
+ when the field is active.</p>
+
+ <p>To finish configuring a driver, press 'Q'.</p>
+
+ <p>Note that PCI, Microchannel and EISA devices can be
+ probed reliably, therefore they are not shown in the
+ table above nor can their settings be changed using
+ UserConfig.</p>
