Subject: Re: HELP! - SRM back to AlphaBIOS

Use the fail-safe boot switch, configuration switch CF7 on the MB. Set
this switch to 0, put the floppy in the drive and boot. It seems I
always have to do this twice but it works. After AlphaBIOS is flashed,
set the switch back to 1.

------------------
I am running an AlphaPC 164SX (21164PC) 533, that originally had
AlphaBIOS Version 5.62-1. I flashed the ROM with
sx164srm.rom and the system booted fine to the SRM console.
 
However, I now wish to reinstall AlphaBIOS. Using the latest version of
sx164nt.rom in dva0, I type 'arc' from the >>>
prompt, and the system loads as it should. Unfortunately, when the
AlphaBIOS has finished detecting network adaptors, a
window pops-up saying 'Invalid NVRAM data' and offers to restore the
NVRAM to factory default values. On pressing
enter, the system mentions briefly that it is saving data, and then
locks up.
 
Has anyone any ideas how I can sort this?
 
(I am using a SCSI HD on DKA0 which I have low-level formatted using the
AlphaBIOS utility accessed via the [CTRL] [A]
facility on boot.)
