My Alpha 164SX

Her name is nikita, and she isn’t quite alive yet. She is a 164SX with
128MB of non-ECC RAM. She is too loud for my apartment, when I can
lock it away in a closet I’ll find something for her to do. These are
some notes so I remember what to do next time I want to netboot her.

I was elated to find that I could netboot using the Intel 82559 that I
had. At various times I’ve had Debian and
NetBSD installed. NetBSD seems to be the
easiest to install.

Stolen from some DEC thing:
AlphaPC 164SX supports the Digital Semiconductor 21164PC Alpha microprocessor that operates at speeds of 400, 466, and 533 MHz.

Netbooting

Boot (using BOOTP) into “interactive” aboot:
