Fixing problems like that is not usually too difficult,
by looking at the *BSD code as has been mentioned.
Jean Mehat <jm@ai.univ-paris8.fr> did it recently for one
of the Alpha DECstations.

hardware and how to make it work. It's a pity the companies
who bought the pieces of Digital didn't inherit their
attention to documentation.
