[comp.sys.next] Next -SCSI error

mramakri@oucsace.cs.OHIOU.EDU (Murlidar Ramakrishnan) (02/28/90)

Can anyone suggest me a way around for my boot up error:

It bootups perfectly if I interrupt it by command - command tilde and enter a
'b' or bsd.
But if it is left undisturbed, it comes up with SCSI error after the Loading 
from disk panel . It keeps displaying these two panels one after the other and
 never comes up.
	Thank You

try the following:
after you power up the machine enter the monitor ( cmd-cmd-~ )
and then look at the boot parameters: (enter p)
The system will show you several parameters and prompt you to give
other values. In general you should NOT change them. Look however at, 
if I remember correctly, the first one. This is the bood command and
should read " sd ".
Also be sure that the boot extended diagnostics is set to no.
