Support ARC firmware #13

Description

@lenticularis39

AlphaServer ES40 supports two types of BIOS - SRM and ARC, the former being used for most operating systems, while the latter is required to run Windows NT and can also boot Linux. Currently only SRM firmware works - attempting to switch over to ARC freezes the console, leaving the SRM prompt accessible from another terminal:
