Alpha lx164 from Alphabios to SRM

[jalovell at knology.net]

I know this must have been gone over so many times, but I don't know how to 
search the mailing list archive to find the answer.  OK I just aquired a 
164lx setup and it previously had windows NT so it was running alphabios.  
Well, I found out what I have to do is get SRM console on, so I read 
instructions and download the firmware program, renaming it to fwupdate.exe

I boot the system and go through the update.  The system appears to reboot 
then goes to a blue screen where it basically tells me i'm missing nt_fw.  
I hear I'm supposed to have some file like srm_fw.sys, which I cannot find 
anywhere.  

OK, try two.  I get this lx164srm.rom file which is ever so praised, stick 
it on a formatted floppy and do the upgrade procedure.  The Alphabios tells 
me there is no update found on that floppy.  So, now I'm stuck.  I really 
want to know how to get the SRM console on my Alpha, but nothing works.
