It crashes on starting DECnet Phase IV. I installed from VSI's
"ALPHA0842L1.ISO" and HPE's "OpenVMS_8.3_Alpha.iso". Same crash in
NETACP in both cases. Guess we will have to wait for this to get
resolved, unless this is a known issue for DECnet Phase IV on OpenVMS
Alpha 8.x.

The key thing is the progress this represents. ?The

DECaxp fork. ?I believe some folks had gotten ES40 to sort of boot,

represents a very important path forward for the OpenVMS Hobbyist
community, and I wish the folks working on it nothing but the best!
In all fairness, you shouldn?t expect good performance from any
Raspberry Pi that?s being used to emulate a DEC Alpha. ?The commercial
Alpha emulators really expect you to be running on a high-end system.
The DEC Alpha page on my DEC Emulation website has just been updated
to reflect this news.

If anyone has any information on Jonathan D. Belanger?s DECaxp fork,
I?d be interested.

It seems quite unstable in places.... and very slow.
I got it running on a raspberry Pi 4 with the 64bit OS.
