Uh, I really did it now. Within alphabios, I set it to boot to SRM, because I was having problems installing from
redhat 5.2 on my personal workstation 433au, but SRM also didn't work (in the same way as alphabios), so
now I want to switch back to alphabios. How do I do that from SRM? Right now it boots me into the
SRM >>> prompt.

Please help.

sincerely,
mickey

above only works temporarily. On the next powercycle it will
fall back to SRM. The permanent way is to issue a:

and powercycle.
