SROM firmware isn't software erasable. In order to update, you need to loca=
te the
SROM chip first, pull it up and use a ROM programming device. However, if a
particular processor runs well if single installed, SROM corruption isn't t=
he
case probably.

You need to build everything from ports on alpha, since there aren't any
binary packages -- though it might be nice if someone would build them
for 6.3, as a last hurrah for FreeBSD/alpha.

You also will need to fix up xorg-server to remove the "doesn't build on
alpha" line in the Makefile, and then make it link against libio in the
appropriate place. Once you've done that, it should work fine, and is
just a matter of waiting a long time for everything to finish building.

Hello all, I have a machine that I keep in my basement, an old alpha
DEC20 which I had 5.3 on and just used as a shell... I decided to get
some ports for it, and of course nothing was on the ftp servers so I got
6.3 and put it on - - - but it seems that the X-windows system seems to
be missing. I also seem to be unable to find it via ftp... am I missing
something?
