Some More VAXish (SYSBOOT) questions..

Well, my resources concerning SYSBOOT limited to: From memory: [Ctrl/P] Switch to Processor Console Mode H Halt a running system (Worse than crashing it) I Initialize (Program counter??) U Unjam (??) B Boot (From curent parameters??) From AA-LA00B-TE, Sys Mgr's Manual (for V5.2): USE DEFAULT.PAR "Emergency Startup After Modifying System Parameters" SET/STARTUP Designate a Console Device CONTINUE Return control to the Boot The Sys Mgr's Manual then refers to: "VAX Processor Installation and Operations Guide" for detailed booting instructions. That's all I have. Anybody else want to add anything?

Well, thanks to all those who replied last time. I think I may be getting somewhare with the vax. cant get the tape drive or deqna cards working, (their leds tell me something is wrong) but that is not what I am going to be asking about. When I try and boot the vax, I get Loading system software, 2..1..0.. %SYSBOOT-E-Unable to locate file DUDRIVER.EXE ?06 HLT INST PC = 0000692B now I can get into the sysboot utility, have no idea what to do here. Is there a way I can get around this missing file, is the some command at the chevrons (>>>) or the sysboot> that I can use to get round this? Thanks Benjamin -- www.carnagevisors.net
