FreeBSD boot problems on Alpha 600 5/333

[norseman]

To whomever;
	I was having another problem with FreeBSD (intel) and put the 
following in too. Brooke suggests I try here.

('REPLY' button won't work. I have six keyboards for myself here at
  work plus the rest I trouble shoot. Outgoing is from whichever I'm
  at BUT incoming is preferred as norseman. Or stevet at water.ca.gov .
  I's a darn sight easier than always logging in somewhere else. :)
