I was looking for something to do with my Alpha system since=20
they're shutting down the OpenVMS hobbyist program and thought I'd=20
try to load OpenBSD on it. I have already loaded OpenBSD on=20
VirtualBox on a linux system.

My Alpha system is a Personal Workstation model 600au. It is maxed
out on memory. I think it has 512M.

I downloaded install75.iso, burned it to a CDROM and tried booting=20
it. Right after the notice to check the date and time it displayed=20
this:

init[1]: pinsyscalls addr 2124620 code 49, pinoff 0xffffffff=20
(pin(Y) 1 2000000-213490 1359b0) (libcpin 0 0-0 0) error 78

At this point it appears dead. I let it sit for a while and there=20
was no further output.

Anyone have any idea what's wrong?
