Hello managers,

I have a Dec ALpha3000/400. We want to add a turbochannel FDDI SAS
controller and use FDDI instead of ethernet.

I understand that I have to rebuild the kernel, and do a netsetup and
configure the new device.

My question is: Is this all I have to do? Will doconfig recognize the
FDDI card, or should I modify the kernel configuration file.


My second question: I would like to keep the shutdown time to minimum.
I would like to build the kernel before shutting the machine and
installing the board (to save some time). Can I do this? What
options do I need to specify when building the kernel?

Thanks in advance for any help.
