On _what_?

I know nothing, but a quick Google search for
the error message found this encouraging
item:

http://aa11.cjb.net/tru64_unix_managers/2000/11/0145.html

I quote:

[...]
So, if one sees error messages during a NHD installation like:
"kio_read: xx undefined symbols"
"Internal error in OSF_BOOT: bad sc in merged external symbol in
layout()"
"Internal limit reached in OSF_BOOT: out of space for compressed
relocations"
you may as well have one of these servers which will not be upgradeable
with an NHD kit.
[...]


So, are you trying to install the OS on a
system where it's supported?

Thanks for the prompt reply on this.. But I found a solution to this.

I just did

>>> boot -fl fa -fi GENERIC dqa0


that solves' the error.
