Help! We are having trouble bringing up 4.2BSD. I have talked to
several people and nobody knows what our problems are. We have a vax
750 with about 2Megs of memory. We have the following controller and disks:
SI 9900 Controller
SI 9762 (RM03) - (33 sectors/track) - SI format
SI 9766 (RM05) - (32 sectors/track) - SI format
Note that the 33 sectors/track is non-standard, but I tried bringing
up the system again after I reformatted the pack at 32 sectors/track
and changing the proper switches on the drive and the very same
problem happened.
Here is what happens:
I format the disk pack on another machine (running VMS). I can copy
the mini-root to hp(0,1) (as in the Berkeley instructions). Now I try
to boot from the mini-root
:hp(0,1)vmunix
it starts to boot (fine) and then asks
boot device?
I then type in hp0* and it then bombs with
80022FCF 06
Our facility manager brought 4.1 back up and made a file system on the
disk thinking that this might help. It didn't.
Any ideas?
NOTE: Please respond by mail - I do not always read this newsgroup.
Thanks in advance,
[ you can contact any of our facility managers at:
trwspf!expert,
trwspf!fstop,
or send stuff to me at either trwspf!vito (or barad@brand).
