A friend is trying to bring up System V on a VAX 780. He doesn't
have a KMC11 or a DMC11 - he only has DZ11s. (Autoconfig barfs when
he trys to tell it to use a DZ11 for the tty drivers.)
Has anyone ever booted SysV on a 780 with a DZ11?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanking in advance

Whose SV is he using? I have currently brought ATT's SV up on over 30 vaxen (750,780,785,8600,8650) and have never seen "autoconfig" so I don't know why it would barf, but I have had no problems using plain dz11's when kmc's were scarce. What error is this config program giving? Are the vectors correct for dz11's. The must be named dz11's, not dzb's, if you do not have kmc assist. -- Jim Webb "Out of phase--get help" ...!ihnp4!hropus!jrw

You need to make sure that your DZ11 has entries in /etc/master like this: dz11 8 277 6 dz 8 0 1 8 5 tty dzb 8 277 46 dzb 8 0 36 8 5 tty And then, in our configuration, we have DZs specified in our definitions file as dzb 300 160100 5 8 dzb 310 160110 5 8 dzb 320 160120 5 8 dzb 330 160130 5 8 dz11 540 760200 5 8 dz11 550 760210 5 8 dzb 340 160140 5 8 dzb 350 160150 5 8 The above is simply by grep'ing for 'dz' in /etc/master and the defs file on this system. -- Karl Kleinpaste
