HP9000/800/H70 console and bootstrap

[Jay_174]

I've just acquired an H70 system and I'm attempting to boot with some problems.

It is running HPUX-11.0, the console is a 700/60 and I believe it is connected to a SCSI/PARALLEL/APMUX card (terminal is connected to port 0 on an external 8 port mux that connects to the card via db9 connector).

First, it appears that the status line information is not being put on the status line but scrolls the screen like normal text.

I am receiving a large number of errors when I power up:
TEST 3000 Remote locked inactive multiple access fault 002D79L
TEST 10D1 <
TEST 10D2 <
TEST 2090 <- same Remote & access information
TEST 2091 <
INIT C200 <

A new line will display every few seconds and usually alternates between TEST 20xx.... and INIT C2xx....

I can type HE and get the NIO16 Access Menu
Is that part of GSD? I can't find any information about it.

I am able to issue commands (such as UR to unlock remote) but I'm not able to get past this menu. Any help?

Thanks!
Jay

OK I'll try that, I think I did before but I'll give it another shot. Any way to find out what the test and init codes mean?

Thanks!
