This is not true for alpha systems that were either resold or created by other companies. The AlphaPC product line was resold as beige box computers, and other manufactures made clones of the motherboards. The NetBSD/alpha page has a pretty decent look at the types. Your statement about them being

Oh, right. That's what I had, but for some reason I thought it didn't
look right and changed it.

Unless you've modified ether82557.c, that should read
ether0=type=i82557

Bad memory could cause all sorts of problems. I'd get that sorted out
first.

Alright, I'll see if I can scrounge one of those.

Hmm. My impression is that Alpha systems were built much more as
complete systems (as were Vaxen) than as the grab-bag of components
that PCs tend be. I did a little work at getting the 83815 and 82557
ether drivers to run before my Alpha died, and eventually I realised
that SRM probably wouldn't

Sure. From /sys/src/boot/alphapc/bootp.c, in bootp(), near the bottom:
addr = (uchar*)entry;
p = tftpb.data+
There are several memmoves in that vicinity; could you show us the
line and some surrounding context?
"kernel stack not valid halt" is coming from SRM, right?
I'm surprised that your alpha didn't come with a 2114x, and that SRM's
bootp/tftp loader can drive any other kind of ethernet card. Does
I have an AlphaPC 164LX that I've decided to try Plan 9 on, but I've hit
a roadblock in my efforts. I've successfully compiled the binaries,
kernel, and bootloader on another machine, and found a network card that
works with the SRM bootp/tftp bootloader (Intel 82559, oddly enough).
Bootp works gre
