It comes up
with an octal address (177something)
followed by the @ prompt. I'm used to unibus
M9312 console emulator prompts and the 11/03
prompt where you can type in a two character
code for a supported device and it will attempt
to boot that device (ie DL, DX, etc).
It sounds like it either doesn't have a bootstrap or there's a problem
somewhere. Are you sure all the cards are plugged in? Any gaps in the
bus?
Assuming all is fine, try 173000G at the prompt to jump into the
bootstrap. If it comes up, you should know what to do from there ;)
I actually was having a stupid attack. After looking up the codes on
the red LEDs on the bootstrap board, I determined that the problem was
that the halt switch was on. After setting it to the run position,
it boots to the START? prompt. I can boot off an RT11 pack in both
the RL02 drives. Both RL02 drives seem to work fine. On the RX02 dual
drive unit, drive 0 works fine and can read/write/format diskettes.
Drive 1 (DY1) seems to have problems and makes a constant clicking
sound any time I try to read or format a diskette, although I thought
I was able to successfully attempt to read a non-RT11 diskette in
DY1 earlier.
