I am in the process of converting an AT&T 3B4000 ACP into a stand alone
3B1000/70 and I am having problems with getting the system booted.
I am getting an error message
PANIC: LBOOT: xbi not found.
How do I get around this. The system is a 3B1000/70 with one 300m single
ended SCSI drive and a 120m QIC tape drive (also single ended). I am planning
on adding a differential SCSI Host Adaptor and 300m differential drives. The
system has 16m of ram.
Also I am using the 3B4000 cabinets to house these 3B1000/70s and I am having
problems with the power supplies not working..... any ideas....

If this is what you tried, and you still get the xbi not found message, then somewhere inside that 3B2 is the memory of having been an ACP. You must eradicate that memory. (Have you seen Total Recall?) The following is what I would do: 1) Boot new 3B2 from hadrware diagnostics diskette. 2) Re-format the hard disk. 3) Proceed with step 3 and 4 above... Good luck, craig

Actually, there is no need to change the system board (as we call it) unless you want to upgrade the machine to a 1000-80. The XBI should be removed (it no longer serves any purpose) and the operating system should be loaded from tape (for this system board you need 3b2 UNIX release 3.2.1, 3.2.2, or 3.2.3) via a full restore. The only difference between the system board in the ACPs and a stock 3b2, is the firmware (if it is different at all). This is so you can boot through the XBI board. It is backward compatible to the 3b2. Tom Toeller AT&T Computer Systems Technical Services Lisle
