I just got my own Noname 233, and well and truely into fiddling with
things.

I had NT configured board - I immediatly re-flashed the rom with the SRM
console and booted up the disk I had previously connected to a loner Noname
I had 4 months ago.

Ive used that old disk to boot-strap a new disk that I fdisked partitioned,
so I download MILO from the dec site . The machine boots fine from the fdisk
paritioned drive, but frequently I keep getting
lca: machine check (blah blah...)
Reason : access to non-existant memory (long frame)
etc, etc

This happens several often when gcc is running, but it doesnt seem to actually
stop any things from running. This Milo 1.3.34, I loaded it by downloading
the disk imaging and putting the NoName in emergency flash recover mode
and starting from floppy.

I also loaded up a lot of the Red-Hat RPM's, but my telnet client doesnt
seem to be resolving addresses, each time it tries to connect to
255.255.255.255 and bails out. The resolver works for other stuff, ncftp
and NFS work fine.

I cant get Kernel 1.3.47 to build either, but since ive not seen any
posts here about it, I assume no one has tried to build it on an AXP
yet.
