alpha
DEC Server 3305
This MB is referred to as either Noritake or Corelle.
It is the same machine as the AS800.
Technical pages on DEC's site.
WinNT
WinNT comes on this machine, so to use another OS, you'll need to switch
from AlphaBIOS to SRM. Follow the instructions on in the manual for switching.
Linux
Redhat 6.1 CD will boot on this machine. (I downloaded the ISO sometime in March/April 2000,
I think) At the SRM prompt, with the Redhat 6.1 CD in the CD-ROM (dka400),
>>> boot dka400 -fi /kernels/generic.gz -fl root=/dev/scd0
I had a GUI install and didn't have to manulally set BSD labels
(unless DiskDruid handled that automatically).
And I could boot from /boot. Then in SRM, I had to change boot,,:
>>> set
>>> set
>>> set
I am having trouble compiling a new kernel. It is currently running 2.2.13-0.9, and I was
trying to use 2.2.16. Hopefully a few more times through
xconfig should fix that....
NetBSD
NetBSD 1.4.1 will run on this machine. The instructions provided worked very smoothly.
(I used a net-based install. So, booted off floppies, then installed off of, uh, maybe
the Walnut Creek server and www.cs.umn.edu.)
RAM
This machine uses 168pin EDO ECC 60ns DIMMs. Crucial.com is not the only source.
Check the back of most computer magazines and you can find cheaper ($2000/GB instead of $3500).
