problem installing 10.2

Erik Ryan_1 — Mon, 30 Jul 2001 22:43:41 GMT

Long explanation, but I need to install hp-ux 10.2 on an hpg40. After about a minute after choosing to 'install hp-ux', I get the error:
"warning: could not clear boot block on disk /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0. no such device or address (errno. = 6)"
I've been told that this could be due to the way the jumpers are set on the boot drive. If this sounds right, can anyone tell me what the jumper settings should be, or if this isn't the case, point me in the right direction?

-Thanks a lot

You can get the error message from /usr/include/sys/errno.h.

grep '6' /usr/include/sys/errno.h

errno 6 - no such device or address

1. Make sure the device has an appropriate device file in /dev.
2. Check the hardware, especially the cabling for the device.
3. Make sure the kernel has a device driver
for the device.

Here is the device path addresses, hope it is useful for you.
