I suggest booting single user mode. You look to be 99% booted and
perhaps someone doesn't have a getty turned on the console.
I have a mips ultrix machine so my console doesn't work the same, but
google around some. It would be BOOT/R5:00000001 DKAxxx or something
similar. I have a boot manual around somewhere if google isn't
forthcoming.
I'll give that a try. I don't have any information on the various boot
options/parameters, and am just winging this as I go. I'll try your
command for kicks, as well as google around some before I pester you for
the boot manual info. Thanks.
Also, your reference to a MIPS ULTRIX machine is of interest, since
another system I have that is in sequence for investigation is a
DECsystem 5400 with an RF215(IIRC right now) expansion box. I sadly see
that NetBSD is not available for this machine, but if I can recover
Ultrix from it safely, then I might have some joy.
