Hi,

We have a PC164SX board currently running the latest SRM console
and we need to go back to AlphaBios. What we do is this:

- put in the latest AlphaBios Disk
- >>> fwupdate
- The system starts AlphaBios and at a certain point, pops up a message
like this (not directly in this words, though):

The system has detected an invalid NVRAM contents and will
initialize the NVRAM now. Proceed YES/NO.

- We Proceed and the program gets stuck!
- We toggle the power and SRM is started again.

So: We're currently stuck. We've also tried an older AlphaBios disk
with the same result.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks // Tom
