[HECnet] Alpha emulation?

[Bob Armstrong]

Thanks Marc -

I ran into some strange problems with my Alpha CD.

  I just "dd"ed mine to an ISO file.   No problems there.   If you have some
ftp site that I can upload it to, I can send you my .iso later tonight.

One thing that I did that may be useful is that I preconfigured my eth1 
interface with the expected (computed) hardware address for my DECnet ...

  I didn't do that, although I did do 'ifconfig eth1' on the Linux host
while the Charon/OVMS emulation was running.   

	eth1           Link encap:Ethernet   HWaddr aa:00:04:00:11:08
	                  inet6 addr: fe80::a800:4ff:fe00:1108/64 Scope:Link
	                  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST   MTU:1500   Metric:1
	                  RX packets:9870 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	                  TX packets:751 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	                  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
	                  RX bytes:602103 (602.1 KB)   TX bytes:66583 (66.5 KB)
	                  Interrupt:18 Base address:0x5000

If my math is right, aa:00:04:00:11:08 works out to 2.17 (and that's the
right address).

  # The trailing zone network interface
  auto eth1
  iface eth1 inet manual
  pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 hw ether aa:00:04:00:d5:08

  I'll give that a try next.   Question - is "auto eth1" the right thing to
do?   That makes the interface start up when the boot does an "ifup -a",
right?   I didn't do that (I figured Charon would start it when it got around
to it).
