Is this the install kernel, so from the boot cd?  What version FreeBSD
are you using?

Hmm...  What firmware is on the card?  There are 1 or 2 flash ROMS
which have a sticker on their back.  IIRC the older KZPSC only have
one chip, with 2.x  (2.73???  memory is very dim here).

Well.. I just found a ZIPed copy of a 2003 floppy for the SWXCR card
for (I hope..) Alpha.  I can send you a copy in private email if you
want.
