I just bought a used AlphaPC 164LX system. (Well, actually, a
motherboard and some cards in a case...calling it a system yet would be
a bit deceptive. ;) ) It's currently got AlphaBIOS 5.6, and I want to
switch it over to SRM. I can't seem to do this, and I'm not sure what
I'm doing wrong. DEC's instructions make it sound so easy. ;)

I downloaded LX164SRM.ROM and put it on a FAT format floppy. But when I
choose the "AlphaBIOS Update" option in the AlphaBIOS Setup screen, it
just prompts me to insert the disk containing the firmware update
utility. I tried putting in a disk with fwupdate.exe, instead, and got
that to load, but it isn't clear to me how I get it to install my ROM file.

Any help would be much appreciated.
