Alpha 1200 Server with FreeBSD 6.4

[honeymak]

hi folks,

i have successfully installed FreeBSD 6.4 on the oldies "DEC" Alpha 1200 server

i am a FreeBSD newbie as well
just hoping to tell folks that works
and em.......if possible.........i maybe able to help test compiling stuff in it.......but......
as u know.........it's a time consuming process........

and i don't know much about FreeBSD commands.......:r

Unfortunately as of 7.0 support for the Alpha processor was dropped

But I'm sure you'll have fun with 6.4 though :e

T.T.......thinking if i would continue to play with that old hardware

seems other *BSD install cd can't boot my Mylex DAC960P controller
T.T.....can't even install
