What kind of cdrom drive and hard disk are you using? I had a hard time
finding a drive that would work on my Vaxstation 4000/60. It likes my
Quantum drives but not others. The symtom was a dump when I tried to use
Backup to install the image. The machine would trap and give me a
screenfull of numbers to write down...
I also had a realy hard time with a cdrom drive and this machine. I
eventually had to get a real RRD40 to get VMS installed. All the other
drives would boot and get me to the Backup prompt, but the install would
fail when I tried to install the image to hard disk. It is funny that the
Vax didn't mind booting backup from a generic, non-512byte block cdrom
drive, but the backup program freaks out on it. It is usually the other
way around.....
It drove me nuts.
Regards,
Jeff

I've discovered something a bit weird while loading
OpenVMS on my 3100.
It hangs when I try to backup from the 7.2 CD! It does a mount
verification and never returns. I've even attempted the IPC method but
that just dumps!
I was able to load 6.1 but the license fails. May this
be caused by the
fact that I attempted to use the license from a MicroVAX II (different
serial number)? Should I get a license for each machine (I have 3)?
BTW I had to try all sorts of variations of backup
before it would backup
to the disk.
Thanks
