WAHOO! I am in as Root! And I ain't gonna tell you what it was!
Now, anyone know what the Streaming Tape Drive device is called?
I can boot with this (an old Adaptec SCSI board) installed.
I have the TI 1300, and the device was called /dev/rct0
you should have the "help" command available, try also with ? and
the topic.
I also have 2 CB811 cards but only one seems to come up
with a light,
the other one just flashes?

I can not boot with either or both of these installed. I haven't tried
real hard, maybe the console port changes with these in. But I also don't
hear all the beeps if these are in.
I guess you are using built-in vga card and
keyboard connected directly
in the machine, instead of using "tty0a" port of the CB811 with a vt 100 as
console. This, usually, make the difference.
Here's my last bootup record
