[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] RT 6150 Model 125 Won't boot from hard disk - SOLVED!

ehrlich@cs.psu.edu (Daniel Ehrlich) (02/13/90)

Just wanted to let the world know that Eric Brunner (IBM Palo Alto) was able
to correctly interpret my 2 digit display for me.  The key number that was
being flashed in the display was `98', which Eric pointed out to means that
/boot was not found on /hd0a.  Turns out that /boot was there but had been
overwritten by a BIND server `boot' file as a result of ill conceived rcp I
did back in December, just about the time this problem showed up. :-)

I had looked for the meaning of the 2 digit displays in the hardware
reference manuals but completely forgot about the SMM section 1 which is
where the `important' values are discribed on page 67.  So, thanks again to
Eric for setting me straight.  I will plead guilty to not RTFM and throw
myself on the mercy of the court.
