I am using Auspex NS5000 (modified SunOS 4.0.3) as a file server.
The system disk is something wrong, so I would install a new disk
for a boot device.
I have restored old dump of root and usr partitions to the new disk.
New disk is /dev/ad3[ag].
1. set the dumped tape to the drive
2. newfs the root (/dev/rad3a) and usr (/dev/rad3g) filesystems
3. restore the filesystems to above devices
4. at the ROM monitor, boot from a new disk
types:
>b ad(3,0,0)vmunix
BUT,
Boot: ad(3,0,0)vmunix
boot-block startup failed
So, cannot boot from the new disk.
How can I install the new boot filesystem ?

I've resolved above problem. By installboot command on SunOS, a boot disk has been made. # cd /usr/mdec # installboot -vlt /boot bootad /dev/rad0a Thank you for your suggestions. -- Hiroyuki INOUE (inoue%rinfo.sumiden.co.jp@uunet.uu.net ) Computer & Information Systems R&D Department Information & Electronics Technology Laboratories SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD. , Osaka, Japan
