We are in the process of migrating from BASIC to HP-UX on the 310's controlling our test stands. Our development 320 has BASIC 5.11 and HP-UX 5.1 installed. When running HP-UX, BASIC can be booted by the command "reboot -f SYS_BAS51" (that's the file name of the BASIC OS). Our first target system got a later version of HP-UX (6.2). When I issue the same command, the system boots, the boot ROM goes looking for SYS_BAS51, and promptly states "SYSTEM NOT FOUND". After considerable time and frustration, I found that if I installed the BASIC OS as SYSBAS51 (omitting the underscore), everything worked OK. Can anyone explain what happened? -- Bruce Wehr Ford Motor Company - Electrical and Electronics Division 17000 Rotunda Drive, DPTC Room LN081, Dearborn, Michigan 48121 (313)845-3039 UUCP: {uunet,rutgers,ames,mailrus}!umix!mcf!fmeed1!wehr INTERNET: wehr@fmeed1.UUCP
