Hejsa

Jeg har en ven fra mit arbejde der har købt en Alpha 1000 Server.
Desværre larmer den for meget til at han kan have den stående derhjemme,
så han vil gerne sælge den igen. Man kan se specs. længere nede i mailen.

Start prisen er ca. 10k, men kan forhandles.

Der er installeret FreeBSD på boxen.
Man skal være opmærksom på at det er en ev5 Alphaserver 1000 derfor kræver
en speciel boot-loader som kan hentes her :

I wrote the platform support code for the AS1000 series & there's a
serious bug in it which I corrected around DEC 6th (post 4.2-RELEASE).
This bug affects AS1000 with ev5 cpus and AS1000A with ev4 cpus (I'd
assumed that AS1000 was always ev4 and AS1000A was always ev5; this is
not true). This bug would result in the behavour you are seeing.

I suggest installing using
http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/4.2.kern.flp and then upgrading to
a very recent -stable after you've installed (I just MFC'ed the fix).

Remember, the kernel that you're extracting from media during the
install will be broken, so you need to mount the kern.flp floppy and
copy off the working kernel after you install.

The Alpha FreeBSD 4.3 is only in BETA at the mom.

Anyways, you can contact my friend at : arimmer@tribalddb.dk
han er ikke subscribet på listen her.

mvh. Sidsel

Hi Everyone!

I have recently purchased an AlphaServer 1000 5/300 with a total of
256 megs of ram and 4x4.3 GB UW disks, CDROM-drive and a tape streamer.

The scsi controllers are the 53c810 embedded on the mobo,
where the cdrom and tape streamer are installed, as scsi device 6 and 4
respectively.
Also, I have purchased a Symbios 53c875e pci card, and some evedently
matching cables from compaq, facilitating UW support on the backpane
(suposedly).

System at a glance (for the visualy impared *S*):

AlphaServer 1000 5/300 (not 1000a!)
256 megs of EDO ram (non ecc, 16x16meg modules)
4x4.3 UW rz29 disks
Toshiba scsi cdrom
IBM/Archive DAT DDS2 streamer
Symbios 53x810 (embedded)
Symbios 53x875e pci UW

best regards,

Anders Rimmer, Denmark
