DE450 (PCI Ethernet, MOP and BOOTP)
DE500 (PCI Fast Ethernet, MOP and BOOTP)
DEFPA (PCI FDDI and CDDI single- and dual-attach, MOP and BOOTP)
FLOPPY (Local RX23 1.44 MB Floppy)

3.5 New Features, Changes and Bugs Fixed in the V6.0 SRM Console
The following changes, since the V5.9 SRM console release, are part of the
V6.0 SRM console.
1 Release notes have been revised since the V6.0 release. The KZPCC
option is not to be supported on the AlphaServer 4x00 systems so
references to this option and associated pages have been removed.
2 The driver code was modified to fix a problem where the system would
hang when multiple nodes respond to a MOP request when MOP
booting via an FDDI controller.
3 Code changes have been implemented to fix a probe timeout failure
on KGPSA devices. A message containing "probe timeout" indicates
that a fibre channel node (HSG80, KGPSA) is in an unresponsive
state and may, prior to V6.0 firmware, prevent access to the disks
for WWIDMGR commands, show device commands, booting a disk or
writing a crash dump to the disk. With V6.0 firmware, the console
skips attempting to access unresponsive nodes but will report a "probe
timeout retry" message. There should be no loss of access to online
disks.
