grant@g73.UUCP (Grant Balkema) (10/30/90)
I have finally picked up three 3B1's: one which boots up fine and presents me with a login, one which continually cycles through reboot and file damage, with what sounds like to me a drive reset sound, and one which is DOA :-( . Each machine has a 67mByte drive, roughly 2 Mbytes RAM, and I think System 3? The problems: Is there a way to go single user on the 3B1 that is presently working? Like a ^C during the booting process, I know that this works on my PDP 11/73 2.9BSD? The problem is that I have no idea what the passwords are? On the second machine, is there a way to jump out of this infinite fsck loop? Can I beg, borrow, or buy any diagnostic, or software disks for these things? grant balkema -- ...harvard!g73!grant (617) 552-8722 ...mirror!g73!grant balkema@bcvms.BITNET
