[net.unix-wizards] 4.3 BSD on uVAX IIs

narten@PURDUE.EDU (Thomas Narten) (07/26/86)

We just got our uVAX IIs running 4.3 BSD. One problem that I already
notice is that the dump code that gets invoked after a crash is broken.
We have RD52 disks, so the offending code is the uddump() procedure in
uda.c. On attempting to generate a crash dump, I get the message
"device not ready".

Has anyone else run into this problem and have an updated driver? Are
there many other sites running 4.3 on the uVAXen? I would appreciate
any responses from sites that have experience with uVAX IIs and 4.3, as
there are no local wizards here with experiences in that area.
