I have the manual for the RQZX1, there are two ways to get the Resident
Firmware to boot:
1. From the ODT level;
2. The other way is select DU253 or MU253 as the boot device. This will
start the diagnostics from ROM.
Once in the diagnostics you have to get the controller to
'Autoconfigure' so it can see all your SCSI devices.
Thanks, Doug!
I had found a couple of pages of the manual and have been able to get
into the firmware and configure the system **if and only if** a TZ30
tape drive is attached. Even if the controller is set to MSCP on both
channels and an alternate second CSR address, I can't access the RFM
either by the ODT method or the BOOT xU253 method, and can't boot from
the SCSI disk.
This isn't a showstopper, but it is terribly confusing. The person
from whom I got the switch settings and RFM
instructions runs a variety
of tape devices on his RQZX1 with no problems.
I can, by the way, install a second tape device and have that recognized.
My board is silkscreened REV. E, and the resident firmware utility
shows a firmware revision of v2.3 and hardware revision "L".
