Hello tru64-unix-managers,

  We have Alpha Server 8200 running Tru64UNIX V4.0F.
  When we try to install NIC - DE600-AA we understand
  that we need QA-MT4AX-H8: Tru64 UNIX New Hardware Delivery-3 V4.0F
  CD-ROM .
  So I follow the instructions:
  1. Create a target directory for the product kit:

        /usr/bin/mkdir /var/tmp/nhd
        /usr/bin/chown root.system /var/tmp/nhd

   2. Move the product files into the target directory:
 
        /usr/bin/gzip -dc <kitname> | /usr/bin/tar -C /var/tmp/nhd -xpf -

   3. Create the ISO 9660 file system:

       /usr/sbin/mkisofs -R -D -a -o /var/tmp/nhd.iso /var/tmp/nhd

   4. Create a disk label:

       /usr/sbin/disklabel -w -t cdfs -f /var/tmp/nhd.iso

   5. Append pad data to the ISO file system:

       /usr/bin/echo "\0\c" | /usr/bin/dd bs=1024k conv=sync >>/var/tmp/nhd.iso


       and I create CDROM.

       Then I try follow the instructions:
>>> boot -flag fax -file GENERIC CD-ROM_device
       but if i try with CD-ROM_device there was a problem
       no osf_boot found and system terminates. So I boot the machine
       with :
>>> boot -flag fax -file GENERIC
       and after that I follow the instruction and everything so well
       to the time when
       i reach 206 207 ....... 12 and after thet error again
       the message is that there are no enough memory ?!?!!.
       And system halt. I try the same but again and again the same.
       Our Alpha Server have 2GB of memory !

       What can I do. I follow the instruction but ..... errors.
       Are there something undefined.
