Hi! So, his question is quite valid - he needs the VMS firmware to run FreeBSD on his alpha. And JFI it is downloadable under www.compaq.com/support even for old Alphas AXP150 and so on.

Re: Code Pal VMS
Wait a minute guys, this might be a valid (although not very clearly stated) FreeBSD question. After a little digging around, it looks like PALcode is firmware on the DEC Alpha (for which there are versions of VMS, as well as FreeBSD). To the original poster: search for information about the FreeBSD port to the Alpha architecture at http://www.freebsd.org/ . Failing that, post your question to the freebsd-alpha mailing list with a few more details about the context of your question. Good luck, -brian On Fri, Jul 07, 2000 at 08:51:22PM +0200, Narvi wrote: No. A real low would be 'what does Visual C++ do or Where do I get cracks for Visual Basic'.
