Get

ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/readmes/v6.1/alphapc164sx/sx164_v5_8.exe

Copy it to a FAT formatted floppy as "fwupdate.exe".  Select "Update
AlphaBIOS" from the AlphaBIOS menu.  On reboot, you should get a blue
screen.  Hit enter a few times, and you should get a prompt
">>>". Then do:

>>> set os_type unix
>>> set console graphics

Previously, you should ensure SRM supports your boot device. SX164 SRM
supports booting from IDE, Adaptec and Symbios, so this is usually not
a problem. Check
