Fatal errors are ones which prevent the automatic boot sequence from completing
and leave you at the >>> prompt. You can still decide to ignore the errors
and boot manually. The fatal errors are more of a "you really should know
about these problems before you attempt to boot" rather than "booting will
definately not work".
Ahhhhhhh. That makes sense.
Replacing the battery should get rid of a lot of errors. ;)
Is there a way to disable the charging circuit? I can get 3.8V without too
much trouble but the batteries would be non-rechargable.
The single question marks are non-fatal errors and the double question marks
are fatal errors.
It runs OpenVMS fine despite the fatal memory errors.
