I have an AlphaStation 255 on my desk that I want to update to DU 4.0D. I
have the 4.0D CDs, but do not have the firmware update CD. I have tried
pulling the file(s) from
ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/v5.1/alpha255, but I get a "bad
magin number" error when trying to boot that file. I assume then I am doing
that wrong. How can I update the firmware from that file when the firmware
update stuff resides on the boot disk for my system? Or can I do that? I
will also have another AS255, an AS200, an AS500, and a DEC 3000/300LX to do
the same way once I get this one done. Any help appreciated.
