So, I've been trying for a few days to get my VAX
7000/640 (currently
with only one processor, so a 610 I guess) to MOP boot into a VMS
cluster.
I'm running OpenVMS hosted off SIMH, and have tried both 7.2 and 7.3,
and have successfully booted my VAX 4000/100 off the setup. I've also
successfully booted the firmware update utility (LFU) and the
file "ISL_LVAX_073.SYS" that comes on the install CD, through MOP.
However, when I try to do a mop boot, the system just halts and says
boot failure:
...
...
CPU:0 Console entry reason: HALT instruction in kernel
mode
Entry PC: 006B6368 Entry PSL:041F0600
Neither of my 7000s are set up at the moment, but I may be able to
rig up some temporary power to give this a try over the weekend.
Have you tried MOP-booting the machine from a *BSD host running
mopd? I believe mopd can produce fairly verbose log messages that
might be helpful, to see what's going on from the server's perspective.

I've tried it omitting the -flags part, and with -fl 1, but they all
give the same error.
Anyone have any useful hints? Or, another VAX 7000 to try
repeating my
(failing) experiment on?
