In console mode look for

P00>>>show console_memory_allocation

To work around the bootstrap address collision do:

P00>>>set console_memory_allocation old

Hi,

you can change non open partition by disklabel -e dsk0
Partitions do have an offset and a length and are not allowed to overlap, otherwise the data would be corrupted.
You are using a,b and g so far.
You could adjust parition d or e
The usual disk label has 8 oartitions from a-h.
You can see them with disklabel -r dsk0 for example.

greetings,

Michael

first check if the versions are supported on that kind of hardware. Older versions of Tru64 (called Digital Unix or OSF/1 depending on version) doesn't support new hardware.

Have a look into the hardware compatibility list of the ds20.
