-      <para>Multia has enough Flash ROM to store both SRM and ARC code

-
-      <para>The embeded TGA video adapter is <emphasis>not</emphasis> currently
-      usable as a &os; console. You will need to use a serial console.</para>
-
-      <para>Multia has only one 32 bit PCI slot for expansion, and it
-      is only suitable for a small form factor PCI card. By
-      sacrificing the PCI slot space you can mount a 3.5&quot; hard disk
-      drive. Mounting stuff may have come with your Multia. Adding a
-      3.5&quot; disk is <emphasis>not</emphasis> a recommended upgrade 
-      due to the limited power rating of the power supply 
-      and the extremely marginal cooling of
-      the system box.</para>
-
-      <para>Multia also has 2 PCMCIA expansion slots. These are
-      currently not supported by &os;.</para>
-
-      <para>The CPU might or might not be socketed, check this before
-      considering CPU upgrade hacks. The low-end Multias have a
-      soldered-in CPU.</para>
-
-      <para>Multia has 2 serial ports but routes both of them to the
-      outside world on a single 25 pin sub-D connector. The Multia FAQ
-      explains how to build your own Y-cable to allow both ports to be
-      used.</para>
-
-      <para>Although the Multia SRM supports booting from floppy this
-      can be problematic. Typically the errors look like:</para>
-
-      <screen>*** Soft Error - Error #10 - FDC: Data overrun or underrun</screen>
-
-      <para>This is not a &os; problem, it is a SRM problem. The best available
-      workaround to install &os; is to boot from a SCSI CDROM.</para>
-
-      <para>There have been reports that you sometimes need to press
-      <keycap>Control</keycap>-<keycap>Alt</keycap>-<keycap>Del</keycap> 
-      to capture the SRM's attention. I have
-      never seen this myself, but it is worth trying when you are greeted
-      by a blank screen after powerup.</para>
-
-      <para>Sound works fine using &man.pcm.4; driver and a line in the
-      kernel configuration file as follows for the Crystal CS4231
-      chip:</para>
-
-      <programlisting>device pcm</programlisting>
-
-      <para>The sound device lives at port 0x530, and uses irq 9 along
-      with drq 3. You also need to specify flags 0x15 in the <filename>device.hints</filename> file.</para>
-
-      <para>I have not yet been successful in getting my Multia with
-      the AD1848 to play any sound.</para>
-
-      <para>While verifying playback I was reminded of the lack of CPU
-      power of the 166MHz CPU. MP3 only plays acceptable using 22kHz
-      down-sampling.</para>
-
-      <para>Multias are somewhat notorious for dying of heat
-      strokes. The very compact box does not really allow access to cooling air.
-      Please use the Multia on its vertical stand,
-      don't put it horizontally (<quote>pizza style</quote>).  Replacing the 
-      fan with something which pushes around more air is really
-      recommended. You can also cut one of the wires to the fan speed
-      sensor. Once cut, the fan runs at a (loud) full speed.
-      Beware of PCI cards with high power consumption.
-      If your system has died you might want to check the
-      Multia-Heat-Death pages at the 
-      <ulink url="http://www.netbsd.org/">NetBSD Web site</ulink>
-      for help in reviving it.</para>
-
-      <para>The Intel 82378ZB PCI to ISA bridge enables the use of an
-      IDE disk. This requires a line in the kernel configuration file
-      as follows:</para>
-
-      <programlisting>device ata</programlisting>
-
-      <para>The ATA interface uses IRQ 14.</para>
-
-      <para>The IDE connector pin spacing is thought for 2.5&quot; laptop
-      disks. A 3.5&quot; IDE disk would not fit in the case anyway. At
-      least not without sacrificing your only PCI slot. The SRM 
-      console unfortunately does not know how to boot from IDE 
-      disks. You will need to use a SCSI disk as the boot disk.</para>
-
-      <para>In case you want to change the internal hard drive: the
-      internal flat cable running from the PCI riser board to the 
-      <emphasis>2.5&quot;</emphasis>
-      hard drive has a finer pitch than the standard SCSI flat
-      cables. Otherwise it would not fit on the 2.5&quot; drives. There are
-      also riser cards that have a standard-pitch SCSI cable attached
-      to it, which will fit an ordinary SCSI disk.</para>
-
-      <para>Again, I recommend against trying to cram a replacement
-      hard disk inside. Use the external SCSI connector and put your
-      disk in an external enclosure.  Multias run hot enough as-is. In
-      most cases you will have the external high density 50-pin SCSI
-      connector but some Multia models came without disk and may lack
-      the connector. Something to check before buying one.</para>
