The CD you built can *probably* be used to boot into
standalone BRU,
if it's the result of a fairly vanilla SYSGEN.
Boot it up, let it mount the system disk, get to the MCR prompt (control-C
and ABO AT. if necessary), and do a BOO [6,54]BRUSYS.
Tim.
Cool, though it was BOO [1,51]BRUSYS (thankfully I had an old directory
listing on my Linux box) on my RSX-11M V4.2 CD. Now I'll have to burn my
M+ CD, and I can rest a bit easier knowing I don't have to depend on tape
backups for recovering a disk. Besides it's faster to startup BRUSYS off
of CD-ROM instead of TK50 :^) Thanks!
Hey! Just finished the M+ CD, and it seems a lot more forgiving about
booting up on a Read-Only drive. It boots up and is usable. Great, so if
need be I can always use the M+ to get M onto a Hard Drive (in the event of
really catastrophic failure.
