Is it possible to configure an M/120 (RISC/os 4.01) to autoboot after a crash? I'd rather not have to type "auto" by hand... Is this in the manuals? Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu

I'd rather not have to type "auto" by hand... "PROM Monitor Environment Variables: bootmode: Controls the PROM Monitor's action in response to system resets. If bootmode is "m", then the PROM Monitor enters the command mode after a reset." (I assume this is your current setting.) "If bootmode is "c", the system does a cold boot." >Is this in the manuals? Yes, but not in a terrifically reasonable place. It's in the M/120 Technical Reference, in the PROM Monitor reference, page 5-3. -- ROGER B.A. KLORESE MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. phone: +1 408 720-2939 928 E.
