Duplicating an RSX-11M+ system disk. - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Ed,

Did you use the /VE option with DSC? 
If you can, use BRU to copy a disk. I never had any problems with disks
copied with BRU.
A possiblility that you could not boot, could be that DU2: is not generated
into your RSX11M+.

 Hello All,

 I have a bit of a weird problem, I'm trying to make a 2nd bootable
 system disk containig RSX-11M+.

 I have an 11/83 with 2 RD53's and 1 RD54, and the system is on one
 of the RD53's. I booted [6,54]brusys.sys and then used DSC to copy
 the contents to the 2nd RD53. DSC did not report any error.
 Then when trying to boot du2 (the 2nd RD53), nothing happens besides
 a number of retries to access the boot information.

 DSC is supposed to copy the boot information as well as the data,
 so I'm wondering what I do wrong.

 Thanks,

 Ed
