[comp.sys.hp] /etc/mkrs problems on hp9000s300

jrp@rducky.uucp (JIM PICKERING) (09/28/90)

I am having trouble with /etc/mkrs on a hp9000s300.  The dd(1)
fails when copying "the boot area to the recovery device".
The exact command in mkrs is
	dd if=/dev/922root_dev of=/dev/update.src bs=8k count=1

It fails with
	dd: cannot open /dev/922root_dev

The device entries are
	crw-rw-rw 1 root sys 4 0x070300 /dev/update.src
	crw-rw-rw 1 root sys 4 0x0f0300 /dev/922root_dev
	brw-rw-rw 1 root sys 0 0x070300 /dev/922rs_dev

Could the minor device number for 922root_dev be wrong?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanx.

jim
