The SRM only recognizes the values "unix" or "vms". |
16 |
When running Linux, leave it set to "UNIX". |
17 |
What this does is actually change the behavior of |
18 |
calls to palcode for the OS running on top of it. |

I believe it should be set to "n". The only time you |
26 |
should need to set it to "y" is if you are running |
27 |
MILO as your boot loader. The only time you should be |
28 |
really running MILO these days instead of Aboot is if |
29 |
your machine doesn't have an SRM console and only has |
30 |
ARC or AlphaBios (like my XLT machine). Ruffian based |
31 |
systems might be an exception to this, but I've never |
32 |
touched one of those and don't remember. |
