Can anybody think of a reason why I can't get a 370 (hpux 7.03) to boot
from a scsi disk attached through the 98658 interface? I could swear that
I've done everything right: The interface is installed at SC 16 because I've
got an hpib disk interface at 14. When I boot from the hpib, I can access the
scsi disk just fine. When I bring the node up in attended mode, the system
shows me that I have a kernel on both the scsi and the hpib disks (which I do).
When I choose to boot the scsi kernel though, the system flashes a few times,
posts the message: "booting /hp-ux," and just sits there. Any clues?
Both the scsi and hpib interfaces are at interrupt level 4. ok?
The hpib interface is set as a system controller. Problem?
Dmesg and spuscan both say that the interfaces are functional
Boot roms on this machine are rev C1.
My 7.03 is straight from the SE tapes. I've applied no special patches.
Thanks for any wisdom...

We'll need more information about your configuration, esp. what devices
are on SCSI, and at what bus IDs.
For example, if you have a DDS (DAT) drive on the bus, and it has no tape
in it at boot time, it can hang a rev C1 boot ROM.

Another thing to chech is to be sure the scsi driver is in the kernal on the scsi disk. If you simply copied the kernal from your hpib drive you may only have the cs80 driver installed. Terry Rudd
