O my yes but you *are* The Guru! That's exactly what was needed - 'SHO
DEV' at the chevron spun up the poor unoffending disk that Neanderthal
Sysop was so recently beating on.
And then I could:

DKA300
but of course
>>B DKA300:
42 NOSUCHFILE
84 FAIL
because there's no OS, it's most likely just a swap device as Zane points
out below.
But I
SET BOOT DKA300
so at least
>>B
tries to boot from the RZ23, which naturally tells me to go away.
So now I'll plug a SCSI CDROM into it and give it a real OS and then
maybe I can still see if there's anything mind-altering on the drive
Anyway, if nothing else I have another known good working base system,
should something Permanent happen to my other 3100. Plus I learned various
cool things in the process.
Tremendous T-H-A-N-X to Y'All!!
