VERY preliminary versions of these documents for the Alpha. I've

made only the most superficial changes so far to HARDWARE.TXT and
eliminated the stuff I absolutely knew didn't work.  That still leaves
a lot of work to do and this is mostly just a place-holder for now.

+
+0.      Document Conventions
+--      --------------------
+
+We have `underlined' text which represents user input with `-' symbols
+throughout this document to differentiate it from the machine output.
+
+1.      Default (GENERIC) Configuration
+--      -------------------------------
+
+The following table contains a list of all of the devices that are
+present in the GENERIC kernel.  This is the essential part of the 
+operating system that is placed in your root partition during the 
+installation process.  A compressed version of the GENERIC kernel is
+also used on the installation floppy diskette and DOS boot image.
+
+The table describes the various parameters used by the driver to
+communicate with the hardware in your system.  There are four
+parameters in the table, though not all are used by each and every
+device:
+
+   Port   The starting I/O port used by the device, shown in hexadecimal.
+
+   IOMem  The lowest (or starting) memory address used by the device,
+          also shown in hexadecimal.
+
+   IRQ    The interrupt the device uses to alert the driver to an event,
+          given in decimal.
+
+   DRQ    The DMA (direct memory access) channel the device uses to move
+          data to and from main memory, also given in decimal.
+
+If an entry in the table has `n/a' for a value then it means that the
+parameter in question does not apply to that device.  A value of `dyn'
+means that the correct value should be determined automatically by the
+kernel when the system boots and that you don't need to worry about
+it.
+
+If an entry is marked with an *, it means that support is currently
+not available for it but should be back as soon as someone converts
+the driver to work within the new 3.0 framework.

+
+
+If the hardware in your computer is not set to the same settings as
+those shown in the table and the item in conflict is not marked 'dyn',
+you will have to either reconfigure your hardware or use UserConfig
+to reconfigure the kernel to match the way your hardware is currently set
+(see the next section).
+
+If the settings do not match, the kernel may be unable to locate
+or reliably access the devices in your system.
+
+
+2.      LINT - other possible configurations
+--      ------------------------------------
+
+The following drivers are not in the GENERIC kernel but remain
+available to those who do not mind compiling a custom kernel (see
+section 6 of FreeBSD.FAQ).  The LINT configuration file
+(/sys/i386/conf/LINT) also contains prototype entries for just about
+every device supported by FreeBSD and is a good general reference.
+
+The device names and a short description of each are listed below.  The port
+numbers, etc, are not meaningful here since you will need to compile a
+custom kernel to gain access to these devices anyway and can thus
+adjust the addresses to match the hardware in your computer in the process.
+The LINT file contains prototype entries for all of the below which you
+can easily cut-and-paste into your own file (or simply copy LINT and edit
+it to taste):

+3.      Supported Hardware
+--      ------------------
+
+FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA and PCI bus based
+Alphas's.  Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive configurations is
+somewhat marginal and a SCSI controller is therefore recommended.
+
+What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
+FreeBSD.  Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet
+received confirmation of this.
+
+
+4.1.    Disk Controllers

+                            FreeBSD Release 4.0-SNAP
+
+This is a 4.0-CURRENT release SNAPshot of FreeBSD, an active
+development branch which is not expected to produce a release for
+some time.  This line of development branched from the 3.x line
+on January 20, 1999; that branch will see continuing releases and
+some features of 4.0 will be back-ported.
+
+Any installation failures or crashes should be reported by using the
+send-pr command (those preferring a Web-based interface can also see
+http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html).
+
+For information about FreeBSD and the layout of the 4.0-RELEASE
+directory (especially if you're installing from floppies!), see
+ABOUT.TXT.  For installation instructions, see the INSTALL.TXT and
+HARDWARE.TXT files.
+
+For the latest of these 4.0-current snapshots, you should always see:
+
+        ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD
+
+If you wish to get the latest post-3.x-RELEASE technology.

+2. Supported Configurations
+---------------------------
+FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
+based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
+386sx is not recommended).  Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
+configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
+also provided.

+
+3. Obtaining FreeBSD
+--------------------
+
+You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
+
+3.1. FTP/Mail
+-------------
+
+You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
+`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
+
+For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
+MIRROR.SITES.  Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
+networking terms) to you.  Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
+Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to 
+become an official mirror site.
+
+If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
+only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
+`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
+to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
+Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
+megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
+LAST resort!
+
+
+3.2. CDROM
+----------
+
+FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE and 2.2.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
+
+        Walnut Creek CDROM
+        4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
+        Concord CA  94520
+        1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
+
+Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
+Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
+
+        ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog
+
+Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
+FreeBSD SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 or $14.95 with a
+FreeBSD-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely
+separate).  With a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as
+they are released.  Your credit card will be billed when each disk is
+shipped and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further
+obligation.
+
+Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
+and $9.00 overseas.  They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
+Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
+States.  California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
+
+Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
+unconditional return policy.
+
+
+4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
+----------------------------------------------
+
+If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
+it's 3.0 and some of the following issues may affect you, depending
+of course on your chosen method of upgrading.  There are two popular
+ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
+
+        o Using sources, via /usr/src
+        o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
+
+[insert other notes here]
+
+
+5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
+valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
+(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
+
+The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
+Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
+script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.  Bug reports
+will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
+be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
+as possible.  Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
+in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
+and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
+watch out for.
+
+If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
+submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
+
+                freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
+
+Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
+even onto a totally different system.  We much prefer if you could use
+this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
+reports.  However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
+the problem might have already been fixed since.
+
+
+Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
+
+                freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
+extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
+enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves!  To
+contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
+mail to:
+
+                freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
+amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
+are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
+may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
+
+                freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
+to do so.  Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
+`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message.  This
+will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
+archives, etc.  There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
+special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
+and ask about them!
+
