Hi all, I picked up a DECstation 5000/200 over a year ago, which I haven't really played with until this weekend. I burnt an Ultrix 4.5 iso, as I have a RRD43 cdrom drive. The installation appeared to go fine, and I was very pleased to see that Emacs is available in the unsupported packages.
When I try to boot, it prints out to the console ]] <snip> ]] preserving editor files ]] clearing /tmp ]] standard daemons: update cron accounting network snmpd printer. ]] start errlog daemon - elcsd ]] Thu Aug 14 18:30:23 GMT 1997 and then it seems to just stop. I can hear some repetitive disk activity, but nothing is happening on the console. I have a monitor hooked up to the PMAG-F card, but it just displays a black screen. If I boot into single user mode "boot 5/rz1/vmunix single", things seem to work fine, although I can't start X. From here, I took a look in /etc/rc and /etc/rc.local, and it seems to get to the end of them both fine. There is an "exit 0" on the line after the date command is executed. Is there a script called after this which I have missed? I'm a bit new to Ultrix. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it X related? Perhaps I should try a fresh install without DECwindows, if that is an option. Thanks, Aaron.
