and sorry for not checking the archives before asking.
I followed the way Paul.Casteels suggested:
Switching from Windows NT to DIGITAL UNIX
To switch from the Windows NT operating system to DIGITAL UNIX, follow
these steps:
1. From Windows NT, choose Shut down.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Press [F2] to enter AlphaBIOS Setup.
4. To change console selection, from the Setup menu, choose CMOS Setup.
5. Press [Enter].
6. Press [F6] to enter Advanced Setup.
7. Tab to Console Selection.
8. Select Digital UNIX (SRM).
9. Press [F10] twice to save your selections.
10. Press [Enter].
11. Press [Esc] to exit Setup.
12. Power cycle the machine.
NOTE: Wait 45 seconds before turning the system back on.
13. The SRM console prompt >>> displays.
14. Boot the UNIX disk.
(For example, type >>>boot dkc0.)
15. Verify the time and date.
Nice place to hide the data.
Thanks once more
Gerhard
