1 Introduction

This document contains the hardware compatability notes for FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE on the Alpha/AXP hardware platform (also referred to as FreeBSD/alpha 4.11-STABLE). It lists devices known to work on this platform, as well as some notes on boot-time kernel customization that may be useful when attempting to configure support for new devices.

Note: This document includes information specific to the Alpha/AXP hardware platform. Versions of the hardware compatability notes for other architectures will differ in some details.
