The AS500 is an alpha, right?  Was the machine actually booting off of
it?  I didn't know that Alphas used OF.  Or maybe it just understood
the chipset and ignored the firmware.

As to the swapping scsi cards between mac and U5, and the various
OFs.  That kind of defeats the purpose of OF, doesn't it?
