I've upgraded successfully to 2.0, and have done the fix to ensure that the boot block is written. When the '040 is installed and we turn on the machine, a window comes up saying "Loading from Network" (with a fancy animated icon!) and everything just hangs. Our system guy is stumped and is having difficulties getting help from NeXT and/or Businessland. We are running a non-NetInfo network here. We get the same problem even if we try to power up in single user mode. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Stuart -- Stuart

Use the `p' command in the ROM monitor to set "verbose test mode" to yes. The default setting is for people with IQs slightly above room temperature, and former Macintoy users. If you want to know what's happening (and, more importantly, what's not happening) at boot time, you need to have the real UNIX console window visible. -=EPS=-

Many thanks to all who replied with useful advice. I'm up and running. -- Stuart

Do you ALWAYS get out of bed on the wrong side? What is the point of your "devastating" remarks you so often indulge in? You have plenty of good information for people, which you OFTEN share, and I'm sure it is much appreciated, but LIGHTEN UP on people (known or unknown) that don't match the exact same life experiences that you've had. Grow up. John > > -=EPS=- -- John Stannard ifjrs@acad3.fai.alaska.edu BITNET: IFJRS@ALASKA KL7JL@KL7JL.AK.USA.NA kl7jl.ampr.org [44.22.0.1] "God is the Answer!" "Oh?? ... er, ...

Grow up. Where does all this parental judgment come from, anyway? So what if he *did* get out of bed on the wrong side? It's not hurting anyone, and I think a person ought -- at least -- to get up or be irrascible or however they like. If anyone was put off by that remark, let them think of room temperature in degrees Kelvin. Besides, IQ tells how big your gas tank is, not what kind of fuel nor what sort of engine you have under the hood. Just now it's 300 degrees K. in here, and if Eric gets to ya, chill out yerself. When someone feeds your face, you don't give them grief over the plate it's served up on, do you? Same thing with feeding your mind, which Eric is rather generous about, I think. Besides, I *like* tart remarks, for the sheer fun of it. <> Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to <> complain. -- Lily Tomlin -- Jess Anderson <> Madison Academic Computing Center <> University of Wisconsin Internet: anderson@macc.wisc.edu <-best, UUCP:{}!uwvax!macc.wisc.edu!anderson NeXTmail w/attachments: anderson@yak.macc.wisc.edu Bitnet: anderson@wiscmacc Room 3130 <> 1210 West Dayton Street / Madison WI 53706 <> Phone 608/262-5888
