[comp.sys.apollo] Installing PSK8

rfh3273@galileo.rtn.ca.boeing.com (Dick Harrigill) (05/21/91)

A bit of caution for those who are about to install PSK8.
You must run the install using 10.3.  It is not sufficient
to load PSK8 on top of a 10.3 volume.  For example, if you
have 10.3 installed on node A, you cannot reboot A diskless
from a 10.2 node to do the install.  You must boot it 10.3.

I fully understand that PSK8 must be installed on top of
10.3, not 10.2.  However, the install fails after reading the
destination volume's baseline file which has the 10.3 install
record.  IMHO, it shouldn't matter if you are using 10.2 or 10.3 for
the install provided the destination is a 10.3 volume.
