Boot Tru64 from bootable tape fails
I have an AlphaServer DS25 running Tru64 V5.1 B. Because Unix freezes while loading, I want to boot it from another media rother that HDD to correct any popssible error. So I create a bootable tape from another machine running Tru64 and when I issue the command:
>>>boot dva0 <-|
the system display the message:
(boot failed from dva0.0.0.1000.0.)
I don't know why it does not boot from the tape. Have I to issue some more parameters?
Anyway, is there any possibility to create a bootable CD? So that I may have just a little kernel and perform mounting of some filesystems?
Thank you.

Re: Boot Tru64 from bootable tape fails
you could boot from the installation disk and abort the installation. You will then have a shell and can mount selected file systems.
greetings,
Michael

Re: Boot Tru64 from bootable tape fails
Is it really a tape device?

Re: Boot Tru64 from bootable tape fails
You said "freezes while loading". You can try boot the generic kernel or in single user to troubleshoot the problem.
boot -fi genvmunix
boot -fl s

Re: Boot Tru64 from bootable tape fails
>>>boot -flag 0 (or boot -flag s)
Then I would do
# mount -a
to mount all file systems.
Then I would manually execute scripts in /sbin/rc3.d one by one.
If single user boot is not possible, I would try >>> boot -file genvmunix
Boot tape made on another machine may not boot on your machine.

Re: Boot Tru64 from bootable tape fails
In fact, I solved this problem by booting from installation CD and using the shell that was supplied there.
Thank you.
Mikel.
