New DEC problem - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

5 Jun 2007

Hi

Boot, well sort of. Its down loading a file from a boot server using
BOOT EZA0 (The ethernet port). 
That it does OK and on the boot server it says download OK. 
However it does not run the downloaded file. I may have the wrong one.

 Does anybody know what test C5 tests.
 If its an unterminated DSSI bus thats OK anything else could be a 
 problem. 
When I had a KZQSA in a VAX 4000-500 I found that it would fail
self-test if either port was left unterminated. I would not be surprised
if an unterminated DSSI port had the same effect.

Does it still boot if you make it boot manually (i.e. is the error fatal
or does it just interfere with automatic booting?)
