console mode command guide?

I inherited an unused Alpha Server 400 last week and finally got a chance
to do a wipe/reinstall on it this afternoon. That part went painlessly
(once I used a rubber mallet to beat the new disk parition info into the
drives :-)

However, one of the problems I'm having, and I can't seem to find a
solution in any of my documentation sets, is with various parameters that
would be entered from the '>>>' console prompt.

Specifically, the ethernet card is locked in 10MBit mode (we're on 100MBit
lan) and the resolution on the screen is set so high that I can't read the
text in text mode.

Does there exist somewhere a guide to using the console mode? If I could
get a list of things that could be "set", I'd have a much easier time
getting these things figured out.

I know I should know this stuff, but up until last week, all of the
systems I've been handed had been pre-configured and I had no need to make
console changes.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
