I recently tried to make my own /boot for a 750 4.1 and got burned.
All I wanted to do is recompile the boot and put it there. What
I did was go to /usr/sys/stand and remake boot as such:
make boot
I then moved this to /boot. The boot program `ran', but printed out
`not a directory'. This was not true. The original boot (after many
contortions getting it back) worked fine afterwards.
I noticed that te make did a dd. Is that the problem? Can I move the
plain a.out to /boot? It also strips it which I guess it to cut the
size down before loading it.
Any suggestions?

From: Steve <byrne%TARTAN@CMU-CS-C.ARPA> I tried to boot 4.1 today from tape. When executing the tape "monitor" command mkfs, the system pauses for a bit, then halts displaying 0000000F 07 Has anyone encountered this behavior before (and do you know what to do about it)? Thanks, steve -------
