http://www.microway.com/tech_support/firmware.html
is a good place to start. It notes you need SRM 5.3-3 to go from AlphaBIOS to
SRM, then you can update to others. More info may be found at Compaq's web
site, http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/. I haven't
personally made the switch from AlphaBIOS to SRM (my machines were SRM to
begin with), so I can't offer any other advice.
