Press Ctrl-C during the BIOS memory test to drop to the Alpha Bios / Openboot. From there:

boot -flags S

mount -r /dev/disk/cdrom0c /cdrom

mount -u /

According to the man page, you set the speed when you down the interface and then bring it back up, thus: ifconfig tu0 down speed 200 ; ifconfig tu0 up The speed reading translates as:

 10   10 Mbps Ethernet half-duplex
 20   10 Mbps Ethernet full-duplex
100   100 Mbps Ethernet half-duplex
200   100 Mbps Ethernet full-duplex

Add the following to /etc/sysconfigtab:

ipc:
    shm_max = 4278190080
    shm_mni = 256                                                             
    shm_seg = 128

    per_proc_stack_size = 33554432                                            
    per_proc_data_size = 201326592      

vm:
    new_wire_method = 0

Edit /etc/sysconfigtab and reboot:

      max_per_proc_address_space = 17179869184
      max_per_proc_data_size = 2147483648

rpc.lockd and rpc.statd need to be running to allow nfs locking to work.

When ./configuring wget on Tru64 with the native CC and –with-ssl to add in https support, the configure script ends prematurely. The fix: find the line that reads

LDFLAGS="-L$ssl_root/lib -R$ssl_root/lib $wget_save_LDFLAGS" 

and replace it with:

LDFLAGS="-L$ssl_root/lib $wget_save_LDFLAGS"

Configure should then run fine, as the compiler doesn’t understand the -R flag, this is a GNUism. Other compilers on other platforms seem to ignore extraneous flags.

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib"

A normal ./configure ; make ; make install should work after that.

./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl 
make DIRS=crypto SDIRS=sha "`grep '^CFLAG=' Makefile | sed -e 's/ -O[0-9] / -O0 /'`"
rm `ls crypto/*.o crypto/sha/*.o | grep -v 'sha_dgst\.o'`
make
make install
