FreeBSD Boot on a Alpha 433

It is 5.3-RELEASE
show DEV and show CONF output a lot of information.  I'm able to do:

show DEV > out
show CONF >> out
cat out | more

and see the out file, but no idea how to get it to you.... (not that familiar with srm).

Exact message is haltcode=5, CPU0 halted.  Do you want the 4 character hex # too?
