RE: 51D's external hard disks
Hi Warren, Thanks for your response. The release Day Zeroed onto the external hard drive is V6.2 - attempted both with and without the Pre-Install Diskette to the same end. The panic message (after boot kabd command) is as follows: Cannot mount root on /pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk fstype ufs panic[cpu0]/thread=0x10402040: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root stopped at E_Syslimit+0x84:ta %icc,%go + 125 Feel free to decipher this at will.

RE: 51D's external hard disks
Hello Aaah just as I suspected. You have remnants of disk mirroring left over when you installed on the external disk drive. I am going to guess that the Mirroring database for the external 4 GB drive 'knows' that it is the first disk controller (i.e. c0t0d0) when in fact it is on the second controller (c1t0d0) and the internal IDE drive is on the first controller. There are two options here - both of which are not supported by Foxboro / Invensys. If you want to go down that path then we best take this discussion off the list. I don't recall if you said why you are trying to do this ? The 51D family was supposed to use the internal drive. The marketing thinking was that if you wanted features associated with external SCSI drives then you would select the 51E family.

RE: 51D's external hard disks
To my knowledge, the D box only supports RAID solutions as an external SCSI drive configuration. The System Administration Guide (B0193ND, Rev J) makes note of the external SCSI drives will be supported in future releases. Since the guide was provided with the 6.3 base level software it is probably not supported until now. We tried your setup in the lab today with similar results: boot starts ok but after a short while panic and reboot. There is a way to get it working but that is not supported. Configuration will be lost with new installs. The B0400PT document is ...ahum... a bit confusing (?) Regards, Ron Deen Senior System Service Specialist Invensys Systems N.V. Baarnsche dijk 10 P.O.
