I have a brand new DEC3100 that I am trying to bring up. I loaded the
software subsets that I thought I would need through the menu program
booted from tape. Now I discover that I need another subset from
tape. Being new to Ultrix/Unix I foolishly looked in the manuals for
some examples and of course could not find any because you need to
know the command first. I finally found in the installation guide a
pointer to the magic I needed, setld. The command
setld -i
shows that the system knows about the software subset I need and that
it is NOT installed as I expected so then I used
setld /dev/rmt0h -a SUBSETNAME
to try to load the software. The system obviously searches the entire
tape and then reports that it can not find the subset. But I know its
on the tape. I tried again using all uppercase letters but still it
couldn't find it.
What am I doing wrong? I would prefer not using the menu boot program
on tape to reload the entire system (I have loaded a bunch of other
stuff) but setld -a doesn't seem to work as advertised.
Thanks for the help in advance.
