Q: How to install Tru64 Unix on Alpha currently running NT4

I have a Digital Personal Workstation 500a currently running Windows NT 4.0
that I want to install Tru64 Unix v5.0 on overwriting the existing Windows
partition(s) and data.

How do I reach the console in order to proceed with starting the Tru64
installation? I am able to reach the BIOS but I don't see anywhere that I
can drop to the console, for example, from the current setup.

BTW, if I don't need to reach the console to reinstall, how do I start the
installation process from the Tru64 Unix v5.0 CD-ROM? I'm not aware that the
system can simply boot from the CD but if this is the case, please clarify.

Thank you very much.
