Re: Booting from CD with a graphics console
firmware release notes.
Have you checked restriction 3 ?
3.5 SRM Console Firmware Bugs and Restrictions
The following are known bugs and restrictions with
AlphaServer 1200 SRM console firmware version V6.0.
1 The FLASH HBA firmware update for KZPCC, under
the I20 DPT Utility, via floppy diskette is not
working. This will be fixed in a future release.
2 Configuring an HSD30 at a higher DSSI node ID than
that of the KFPSA will result in the SRM console
not seeing devices when a console SHOW DEVICE
command is issued.
3 VGAs configured as console display devices must be
in PCI0.
4 If running OpenVMS or DIGITAL UNIX, the MEMORY_TEST
environment variable must be set to FULL (default).
PARTIAL and NONE are not yet supported.
5 The system must be reset prior to running LFU
from console. Booting the LFU off CD-ROM does not
require a system reset.

Re: Booting from CD with a graphics console
As long as I can "work-around" the immediate problem, we don't really need to resolve the actual problem.
I am certain that it is indeed a firmware problem etc., but the necessity of resolving the issue is not justified by the volume of times that the system must be rebooted from a CD (maybe once a year).

Re: Booting from CD with a graphics console
Thanks for posting..
I just had similar problem with our 1200 this weekend when attempting to boot the VMS CD in order to upgrade from 7.3 to 7.3-2.
I got the console prompt ok and was able to put in the boot-FL 0,0 DKA400 command and it did start to load, but stopped after setting affinity to primary cpu and Jumping to bootstrap messages.
I did the firmware upgrade, it still hung after the Jumping to bootstrap message.
I was using serial console from, have not tried the graphics console at all.
still at 7.3 :) for the moment.

Re: Booting from CD with a graphics console
My problem turned out to be the serial console
needs to be in COM1 instead of COM2.
So you need to ignore the Alpha 1200 user guide on this.
