simple questions

Sorry, if I am on the wrong list or asking too basic questions.

I have just started to deal with DEC Alpha Server 400 running under
Digital Unix V4.0C operating system. I am not familiar with Unix at
all (up to now I managed only NetWare servers) but I am working hard
to find how it works.

I have very basic problems now and I am not able to find necessary
information browsing documentation on CD-ROM or Unix manuals. I can
not format, moreover - read, diskette in floppy disk drive. I know the
name of device (/dev/rfd0c) but neither 'ls' nor 'fmtflop', nor
'format', nor 'mount' did work on my machine.

The next problem is the network adapter (Fast EtherWORKS PCI 10/100).
In factory installed system information about network adapter is
absent. Installation manual for Unix refers to ftp site where I can
get the latest version of driver but there is nothing about it's
installation.

If any of you could be so kind and help me or direct to right
place/person I would be grateful.

Sincerely,
Tomasz Gornicki
