Installation guide

To alleviate the error, you must use the eeromcfg utility to program the
NVRAM with the proper set of parameters. The eeromcfg utility is
provided in the /mnt-pnt/utility directory of the Alpha Systems
Firmware Update CD-ROM. Consult the readme.txt file in that same
directory for information about how to use the utility.
3.1.6 DJ-ML200-xx PCI NVRAM Hardware Rev Must Be E01
The revision of the ML200-xx 2/4/8MB PCI NVRAM adapter must be
revision E01.
3.1.7 RIS boot Options
To start a RIS installation on an AlphaServer 1200, 4000, 4100, 8200, or
8400, you must no longer specify the n option with the boot console
firmware command, as in the following example:
>>> boot -fl n ewa0
If you specify the n option, the RIS installation kernel will panic. You can
safely initiate a RIS installation by omitting the n option:
>>> boot ewa0
3.2 Personal Workstation 433au, 500au, and 600au
Systems
The following notes are specific to Compaq Personal Workstation class
systems.
3.2.1 EIDE (ATAPI) CD–ROM Support
The Compaq Personal Workstation class systems contain two EIDE (ATAPI)
ports.
Version 4.0F supports the use of ATAPI CD–ROM devices attached to the
internal EIDE adapter of the Compaq Personal Workstation class systems.
The CD–ROM devices appear as SCSI rz devices. The device names for
devices attached to the first EIDE port are rz0 and rz1. The device names for
the devices attached to the second EIDE port are rz8 and rz9. The EIDE
master devices are rz0 and rz8. The EIDE slave devices are rz1 and rz9.
The device names are reserved even if no devices are connected to those
ports at the present time. Disks connected to the SCSI buses on the system
are numbered rz16 and above.
Any Tru64 UNIX application designed to use a SCSI CD–ROM drive can
use a supported EIDE CD–ROM drive through this software interface.
