I forgot to mention I have installed DEC UNIX V4.0B on the Alpha Station 500

     I have set-up an Apha Station 500 Test box for installing Syabse on it
     and I read in the documentation that sybase requires Raw Partitions.
     Any of you had experience of setting up raw partitions for Sybase.
     
     Also when trying to logon/telent to the Aplha as a non-root user I get
     the error message "too many users logged on, try again later". My
     kernel is configured for maxusers 32 and I've created more ttys. Any
     ideas ?
     
     Finally, a trivial question here but my keyboard does not appear to be
     working properly. At the firmware prompt it tells I get PCXAL for the
     keyboard type however, when in the UNIX shell I don't get the pipe
     symbol (using a U.K keyboard).
     
     TIA
