This point in the boot is also where NIS is starting up. If there is no NIS server, it will hang here. Verify an NIS server or remove/rename /etc/defaultdomain.

Vijay, Is the box connected to a network??? Are you getting any errors like Network Link Error??? What might be happening is the server is looking for a bind server out on the net. Usually you'll get a repeated message for about 2 mins, then to times out and should continue (what type of box is it???) so it may be its just pausing during the final stages of the inetd services starting up.

Yes, with Unibus cabinet. A little scratched but otherwise OK. On Wed, 2 May 2001, Brian Chase wrote: Richard Schauer rws(a)enteract.com

A book researcher from Jones and Bartlett Publishers asked me about using a VAX 11/780 image I had up on my website for a computer science book of theirs. The pic however is actually one I snagged from the Digital Equipment site a few years back. I was wondering if anyone had a clean system which they could photograph to provide a production quality image (probably a 35mm negative would be okay, or I'd imagine something with a resolution of at least 1280x1024 would be okay). I'd imagine you'd get a photo credit. Of course this would also require that you have or know someone with relatively decent photography skills. -brian.

Like many (most?) others here, I collect computers to use, play with and learn from, not for their looks or "collector's value." In other words, their hack value is what I value. :-) -- Copyright (C) 2001 R. D.
