Re: VAX4000/300 MNS7.3 isntallation from CDROM

No Jerry, I don't think that the problems are related to the SCSI Bus or the CDR. I can't write to the DSSI disks, that is the problem. If thast problem persists I'll try to install to an additional SCSI disk next.. Regards, Holm Jerry Weiss wrote: > If the saveset restoration and the complex b

Re: VAX4000/300 MNS7.3 isntallation from CDROM

If the saveset restoration and the complex bootstrap both fail, suggest you investigate the following. 1) Make sure the SCSI bus that is used by the CD-ROM has proper termination and termination power. 2) Create/obtain a new image CD. Your image may be corruption or the CD-ROM may have trou

Re: VAX4000/300 MNS7.3 isntallation from CDROM

Hi Holm, If the CD-ROM is showing up as DKnXXX in "show dev", you just need the boot parameters to be zeroed out or default or whatever ... nothing special is required, just boot DKnXXX where that's the CD-ROM device and it should come right up. I have found this to be the case on any VAX machine

As Antonio mentioned, the condist VAXVMS073 normally boots into standalone backup mode. The only application that runs is BACKUP. if you boot >>>b/r5:1000 dka700: (BOOT/R5:1000 DKA700:) You get a bit more capability to handle disks. You can mount the disks and verify they are access

Having the CDROM write protected is normal for read-only media.The target drive needs to be write enabled. Before you boot the CD, list the disks you have. >>>sh device Choose a disk that is unused/empty. Once you get the $ or $$$ prompt, you need to restore the save from the CDROM to y
