The answer was( I figured ) :

a) boot -fi genvmunix
b) doconfig
c) mv /sys/MACHINE/vmunix /vmunix
d) shutdown -r now.

There were a few variations of this procedure, but rebuilding of the kernel
is
a must.

        Friends,
        I have added a DE-500-BA 10/100 Ether/PCI card to an open PCI slot
        in a AlphaServer 2100 running DU 4.0D w/ latest patches.

        I assumed that it would be recognized at boot time.
        It wasn't.
        Do I need to manually change the kernel config and reboot w/
genvmunix
        and run doconfig ?
        How do I identify the slot to a PCI address.
        tuo is currently on pci0 slot 0.
        The DE-500 is in a slot labeled PCI 11 physically on the back of the
server.

        Is there a way to "probe" the PCI bus ?
        I'm hoping I don't have to reboot.

        Thanks,
