Hi all, I am trying to install the (Oct 4) snapshot on my uVAX 3100-80 after trying out VMS for a while. I installed via netboot from my i386 machine, and everything went well. The problem is that it will *NOT* boot from the disk. I have booted several times from the network trying to manually install bootblocks using "disklabel -B sd1", "disklabel -B /dev/rds1c -b sdboot" and some other such variations, but the system refuses to boot. The output from the console mode is: >>> boot dka100 -DKA100 >>> I have also tried installing onto a separate disk (dka0), with pretty much the same results, except that it at least tells me where it is failing on boot: >>> boot dka0 -DKA0 ?43 FILESTRUCT >>> I'm all out of ideas, other than running the system off NFS, but I would rather run it locally, since I have the diskspace to do so. Any suggestions? Thanks -- Sean Cavanaugh - Email: seanc at unixgeeks period ca
