<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">>>></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 & 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>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>NoNames can either have SRM <i class=

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">
|
|
>>> <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">
|
|
>>> <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>Multia has enough Flash ROM to store both SRM and
|
|
ARC code at the same time and allow software selection
|
|
of one of them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Multia has only one 32 bit PCI slot for expansion,
|
|
and it is only suitable for a small form factor PCI
|
|
card. By sacrificing the PCI slot space you can mount a
|
|
3.5" hard disk drive. Mounting stuff may have come with
|
|
your Multia. Adding a 3.5" disk is <i class=
|
|
"EMPHASIS">not</i> a recommended upgrade due to the
|
|
limited power rating of the power supply and the
|
|
extremely marginal cooling of the system box.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Multia also has 2 PCMCIA expansion slots. These are
|
|
currently not supported by FreeBSD.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CPU might or might not be socketed, check this
|
|
before considering CPU upgrade hacks. The low-end
|
|
Multias have a soldered-in CPU.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It comes with a TGA based graphics on-board. TGA is
|
|
not currently suitable for console use with FreeBSD.
|
|
This means you will have to run Multia using a serial
|
|
console. Note that the boot of the installation disk
|
|
will appear to work fine using the TGA console, but
|
|
then switches to using the serial port. This is even
|
|
mentioned during by installer (but never read by the
|
|
human doing the install). Your keyboard appears dead
|
|
from that point on.</p>
|
|
|
|
<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
|

|

it is worth trying when you are greeted by a blank

<p>Sound works fine using <a href=

line in the kernel configuration file as follows for

|
the Crystal CS4231 chip:</p>
|
|

|
<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
|

|
|
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>

<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">>>></tt> <tt class=
|
|
"USERINPUT"><b>SET PCI_DEVICE_OVERRIDE <tt class=
|
|
"REPLACEABLE"><i><vendor_id></i></tt><tt class=
|
|
"REPLACEABLE"><i><device_id></i></tt></b></tt>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">
|
|
<tt class="PROMPT">>>></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">>>></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">

</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>after halting FreeBSD you should update your SRM

firmware to V7.2-1 or later. This SRM version is first

|
|
(the ``Bird'' machines)</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The DEC3000 series were among the first Alpha
|
|
machines ever produced. They are based on an I/O bus
|
|
called the TurboChannel (TC) bus. These machines are
|
|
built like tanks (watch your back).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DEC3000 can be subdivided in DEC3000/500-class and
|
|
DEC3000/300-class. The DEC3000/500-class is the early
|
|
high-end workstation/server Alpha family. Servers use
|
|
serial consoles, workstations have graphics tubes.
|
|
DEC3000/300-class is the lower-cost workstation
|
|
class.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DEC3000/500-class are quite fast (considering their
|
|
age) thanks to the good memory design. DEC3000/300 is
|
|
crippled compared to DEC3000/500 because of its much
|
|
narrower memory bus.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>They are called ``Birds'' because their internal DEC
|
|
code names were bird names:</p>

|
|
<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> </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> </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">>>></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>DEC3000/500-class can use 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 Mbyte
|
|
100pin SIMMs. Note that the maximum memory size varies
|
|
from system to system, desktop machines have sacrificed
|
|
box size for less memory SIMM sockets. Given enough
|
|
sockets and enough SIMMs you can get to 512 Mbytes

maximum. This is one of the main differences between

floor standing and desktop machines, the latter have

<p>Birds can be obtained from surplus sales etc. As
|
|
they are not PCI based they are no longer actively
|
|
maintained. TC expansion boards can be difficult to
|
|
obtain these days and support for them is not too good
|
|
unless you write/debug the code yourself. Programming
|
|
information for TC boards is hard to find. Birds are
|
|
recommended only if a. you can get them cheap and b. if
|
|
you prepared to work on the code to support them
|
|
better.</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">

|
|
|
|
<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">
|
|
set isp_mem_map=0xff
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>This may need to be typed at the boot loader prompt
|
|
before booting the installation kernel.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the AlphaStation-[56]00 machines the kernel
|
|
config file must contain:</p>
|
|
<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">

|
|
|
|
<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
|
|
EV5/500 MHz CPU was later re-branded to become a
|
|
``DIGITAL Server 3305[R]''.</p>

<p>AS1000 based machines come in multiple enclosure
|
|
types. Floor standing, rack-mount, with or without
|
|
StorageWorks SCSI chassis etc. The electronics are the
|
|
same.</p>
|
|
|
|
<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
|
|
different DIMM sizes are used. Max memory size is 2GB.
|
|
Note that these are EDO DIMMs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The AS1000/800 are somewhat stubborn when it comes
|
|
to serial consoles. They need</p>
|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">
|
|
>>> <tt class=
|
|
"USERINPUT"><b>SET CONSOLE SERIAL</b></tt>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>before they go 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">
|
|
>>> <tt class=
|
|
"USERINPUT"><b>SET CONSOLE GRAPHICS</b></tt>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>at the serial console.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For AS800 you want to check if your Ultra-Wide SCSI
|
|
is indeed in Ultra mode. This can be done using the <tt
|
|
class="FILENAME">EEROMCFG.EXE</tt> utility that is on
|
|
the Console Firmware Upgrade CDROM.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the AlphaServer1000/1000A/800 machines the
|
|
kernel config file must contain:</p>
|
|
<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">
|
|

<p>The system has a smart power controller. This

|
means that parts of the system remain powered when it

|
is switched off (like an ATX-style PC power supply).
|
|
Before servicing the machine remove the power
|
|
cord.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Webbrick is shipped in a desktop-style case
|
|
similar to the older 21164 ``Maverick'' workstations
|
|
but this case offers much better access to the
|
|
components. If you intend to build a farm you can
|
|
rackmount them in a 19-inch rack; they are 3U high.
|
|
Slate is 1U high but has only one PCI slot.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DS10 has 4 DIMM slots. DIMMs are installed as
|
|
pairs. Please note that DIMM pairs are not installed
|
|
in adjacent DIMM sockets but rather physically
|
|
interleaved. DIMM sizes of 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512
|
|
Mbytes are supported.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When 2 pairs of identical-sized DIMMs are
|
|
installed DS10 will use memory interleaving for
|
|
increased performance. DS10L, which has only 2 DIMM
|
|
slots cannot do interleaving.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Starting with SRM firmware version 5.9 you can
|
|
boot from Adaptec 2940-series adapters in addition to
|
|
the usual set of Qlogic and Symbios/NCR adapters.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The base model comes with a FUJITSU 9.5GB ATA disk
|
|
as its boot device. FreeBSD works just fine using
|
|
EIDE disks on Webbrick. DS10 has 2 IDE interfaces on
|
|
the mainboard. Machines destined for Tru64 Unix or
|
|
VMS are standard equipped with Qlogic-driven
|
|
Ultra-SCSI disks</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the PCI bus 32 and 64 bit cards are supported,

|
in 3.3V and 5V variants.</p>

<p>Monet is housed in a mini-tower like enclosure
|

quite similar to the Miata box.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The on-board Qlogic UW-SCSI chip supports up to 4
|
|
internal devices. There is no external connector for
|
|
the on-board SCSI.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For 500 MHz CPUs 83 MHz DIMMs will do. Compaq
|
|
specifies PC100 DIMMs for all CPU speeds. DIMMs are
|
|
installed in sets of 4, starting with the DIMM slots
|
|
marked ``0'' Memory capacity is max 4 GB. DIMMs are
|
|
installed ``physically interleaved'', note the
|
|
markings of the slots. Memory bandwidth of Monet is
|
|
twice that of Webbrick. The DIMMs live on the CPU
|
|
daughter-card. Note that the system uses ECC RAM so
|
|
you need DIMMs with 72 bits (not the generic PC-class
|
|
64 bit DIMMs)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The EIDE interface is usable / SRM bootable so
|
|
FreeBSD can be rooted on an EIDE disk. Although the
|
|
Cypress chip has potential for 2 EIDE channels Monet
|
|
uses only one of them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The USB interface is supported by FreeBSD.If you
|
|
experience problems trying to use the USB interface
|
|
please check if the SRM variable <tt class=
|

you will get SRM console output on the graphics console

with the console set to serial, but when FreeBSD boots

it honors the <tt class="LITERAL">CONSOLE</tt> variable

|
<p>The DS20 is housed in a fat cube-like enclosure. The

enclosure also contains a StorageWorks SCSI hot-swap

shelf for a maximum of seven 3.5" SCSI devices. The

shelf.</p>
|

|
<p>The embedded Adaptec SCSI chip on the DS20 is

disabled and is therefore not usable under FreeBSD.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Starting with SRM firmware version 5.9 you can boot
|
|
from Adaptec 2940-series adapters in addition to the
|
|
usual set of Qlogic and Symbios/NCR adapters. This
|
|
unfortunately does not include the embedded Adaptec
|
|
SCSI chips.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using banks of DIMMs of different sizes
|
|
the biggest DIMMs should be installed in the DIMM slots
|
|
marked <tt class="LITERAL">0</tt> on the mainboard. The

DIMM slots should be filled ``in order'' so after bank

|
0 install in bank 1 and so on.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Don't try to use Symbios-chip based SCSI adapters in
|
|
the PCI slots connected to hose 1. There is a
|
|
not-yet-found FreeBSD bug that prevents this from
|
|
working correctly. DS20 ships by default with a Symbios
|
|
on hose 1 so you have to move this card before you can
|
|
install/boot FreeBSD on it.</p>

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

|
|
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>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 -

|
|
or alternatively the same system box in a 19" rack.
|
|
This is medium iron, not a typical hobbyist system.
|
|
Rawhides are multi-CPU machines, up to 4 CPUs can be in
|
|
a single machine. Basic disk storage is housed in one
|
|
or two StorageWorks shelves at the bottom of the
|
|
pedestal. The Rawhides intended for the NT market are
|
|
designated DIGITAL Server 7300 (5/400 CPU), DIGITAL

<p>Rawhide uses a maximum of 8 RAM modules. These
|
|
modules are used in pairs and supply 72 bits to the bus
|
|
(this includes ECC bits). Memory can be EDO RAM or
|
|
synchronous DRAM. A fully populated Rawhide has 4 pairs
|
|
of memory modules. Given the choice use SDRAM for best
|
|
performance. The highest capacity memory board must be
|
|
in memory slot 0. A mix of memory board sizes is
|
|
allowed. A mix of EDO and SDRAM is also reported as
|
|
working (assuming you don't try to mix EDO and SDRAM in
|
|
one module pair). A mix of EDO and SDRAM results in the
|
|
<i class="EMPHASIS">entire</i> memory subsystem running
|
|
at the slower EDO timing</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rawhide has an embedded Symbios 810 chip that gives
|
|
you a narrow fast-SCSI bus. Generally only the SCSI
|
|
CDROM is driven by this interface.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rawhides are available with a 8 64-bit PCI / 3 EISA
|
|
slot expansion backplanes (called ``Saddle'' modules).
|
|
There are 2 separate PCI buses, PCI0 and PCI1. PCI0 has
|
|
1 dedicated PCI slot and (shared) 3 PCI/EISA slots.
|
|
PCI0 also has a PCI/EISA bridge that drives things like
|
|
the serial and parallel ports, keyboard/mouse etc. PCI1
|
|
has 4 PCI slots and an Symbios 810 SCSI chip. VGA
|
|
console cards must be installed in a slot connected to
|
|
PCI0.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The current FreeBSD implementation has problems in
|
|
handling PCI bridges. There is currently a limited fix
|
|
in place which allows for single level, single device
|

PCI bridges. The fix allows the use of the Digital

<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD supports (and has been tested with) up to 2
|
|
GBytes of memory on TurboLaser. There is a trade-off to
|
|
be made between TLSB slots occupied by memory modules
|
|
and TLSB slots occupied by CPU modules. For example you

|
can have 28GBytes of memory but only 2 CPUs (1 module)

|
at the same time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Only PCI expansion is supported on FreeBSD. XMI or
|
|
Futurebus+ (which are AS8400 only) are both
|
|
unsupported.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The I/O port modules are designated KFTIA or KFTHA.
|
|
The I/O port modules supply so called ``hoses'' that
|
|
connect to up to 4 (KFTHA) PCI buses or 1 PCI bus
|
|
(KFTIA). KFTIA has embedded dual 10baseT Ethernet,
|
|
single FDDI, 3 SCSI Fast Wide Differential SCSI buses
|
|
and a single Fast Wide Single Ended SCSI bus. The FWSE
|
|
SCSI is intended for the CDROM.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>KFTHA can drive via each of its 4 hoses a DWLPA or
|
|
DWLPB box. The DWLPx house a 12 slots 32 bit PCI
|
|
backplane. Physically the 12 slots are 3 4-slot buses
|
|
but to the software it appears as a single 12 slots PCI
|
|
bus. A fully expanded AS8x00 can have 3 (I/O ports)
|
|
times 4 (hoses) times 12 (PCI slots/DWLPx) = 144 PCI
|
|
slots. The maximum bandwidth per KFTHA is 500
|
|
Mbytes/second. DWLPA can also house 8 EISA cards, 2
|
|
slots are PCI-only, 2 slots are EISA only. Of the 12
|
|
slots 2 are always occupied by an I/O and connector
|
|
module. DWLPB are the prefered I/O boxes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For best performance distribute high bandwidth
|
|
(FibreChannel, Gigabit Ethernet) over multiple hoses
|
|
and/or multiple KFTHA/KFTIA.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Currently PCI expansion cards containing PCI bridges

are not usable with FreeBSD. Don't use them at this

time.</p>
|

|
<p>The single ended narrow SCSI bus on the KFTIA will

turn up as the <i class="EMPHASIS">fourth</i> SCSI bus.
|
|
The 3 fast-wide differential SCSI buses of the KFTIA
|
|
precede it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>AS8x00 are generally run with serial consoles. Some

newer machines might have a graphical console of some

|

|
|
<p>The machine needs ECC capable DIMMs, so 72 bit ones.
|
|
This does not appear to be documented in the UP1000
|
|
docs. The system accesses the serial EEPROM on the
|
|
DIMMs via the SM bus. Note that if only a single DIMM
|
|
is used it must be installed in slot <i class=
|
|
"EMPHASIS">2</i>. This is a bit counter-intuitive.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The UP1000 needs a 400Watt ATX power supply
|
|
according to the manufacturer. This might be a bit
|
|
overly conservative/pessimistic judging from the power
|
|
consumption of the board & cpu. But as always you
|
|
will have to take your expansion cards and peripherals
|
|
into account. The M1543C chip contains power management
|
|
functionality & temperature monitoring (via I2C /
|
|
SM bus).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Chances are that your UP1000 comes by default with
|
|
AlphaBios only. The SRM console firmware is available
|
|
from the Alpha Processor Inc. website. It is currently
|
|
available in a beta version which was successfully used
|
|
during the port of FreeBSD to the UP1000.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The embedded Ultra DMA EIDE ports are bootable by
|
|
the SRM console.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>UP1000 SRM can boot off an Adaptec 294x adapter.
|
|
Under high I/O load conditions machine lockups have
|
|
been observed using the Adaptec 294x. A Symbios 875
|
|
based card works just fine, using the sym driver. Most
|
|
likely other cards based on the Symbios chips that the
|
|
sym driver supports will work as well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The USB interfaces are disabled by the SRM console
|
|
and have not (yet) been tested with FreeBSD.</p>

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&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&sektion=4">
|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class=
|
|

|
|
<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&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&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 following table contains a list of all of the
|
|
devices that are present in the <tt class=
|
|
"FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> kernel. This is the essential
|
|
part of the operating system that is placed in your root

partition during the installation process. A compressed
|
|
version of the <tt class="FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> kernel
|
|
is also used on the installation floppy diskette and DOS
|
|
boot image.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The table describes the various parameters used by the
|
|
driver to communicate with the hardware in your system.
|
|
There are four parameters in the table, though not all
|
|
are used by each and every device:</p>

|
|
If an entry in the table has `n/a' for a value then it
|
|
means that the parameter in question does not apply to
|
|
that device. A value of `dyn' means that the correct
|
|
value should be determined automatically by the kernel
|
|
when the system boots and that you don't need to worry
|
|
about it.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p>If an entry is marked with an *, it means that support
|
|
is currently not available for it but should be back as
|
|
soon as someone converts the driver to work within the
|
|
new (post-4.0) framework.</p>

<p>If the hardware in your computer is not set to the

reconfigure your hardware or use UserConfig to

reconfigure the kernel to match the way your hardware is

currently set (see the next section).</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>
