I'm planning to upgrade an AlphaServer 4/233 to a 5/250, running Digital
UNIX 4.0b.
According to Digital's documentation (EK-KN470-IN. B01), Step 11 says this:
"Digital UNIX systems: You will need to rebuild the kernel...After you
rebuild the kernel, you can boot the operating system."
My question is this:
Will I be able to boot from the existing /vmunix after the CPU upgrade,
even though it was built using the EV 4 CPU?
If not, can I boot from the existing /genvmunix? (I assume is the same as
the one that comes from the 4.0B distribution CD.)
And, failing that, how does one do this without re-installing the OS.
