Re: Installing Sarge on DEC Personal Workstation 500au

Hi,

maybe you should update your Firmware.

A "show version" in SRM should give you the firmwareversion you have. You can get the latest firmware there:

Cheers,

I've switched to SRM, didn't realise you could do that - thought you
were stuck with one or the other  :-)

'boot dqa' doesn't work, dqa is an invalid device or some such error.

Also the SRM console locks up from time to time, any idea what's causing
that? (user error I suspect!)
