Hi, Everyone.
I installed a DEC DEFEA (PDQ) FDDI card (EISA board) on an Alpha 1000 server.
The 1000 server is running OSF1 3.0B (Rev. 358.78). The kernel was regenerated.
When the system boots up, it 'saw' the card. But when I check the boot message
using 'uerf -R', I have an error message that I don't know how to resolve.
Right now, the status LED on the card does not light up at all. It does not
work. The system is up runing using the existing Ethernet card.
Here is partial printout of the boot message from the command 'uerf -R',
