Following is the console output:
----------------------------------
P00>>>boot DKA500
(boot dka500.5.0.2000.1 -flags A)
block 0 of dka500.5.0.2000.1 is a valid boot block
reading 1081 blocks from dka500.5.0.2000.1
bootstrap code read in
base=200000, image_start=0, image_bytes=87200
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 3ff6e000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
-------------------------------
When I manually mount the CD, I am able to see the contents of the same. Hence I presumed that the CDROM drive should be working fine.
Would be grateful if anybody could help.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashwini

Re: Jumping to BootStrap Code
>>> boot -flag 0,80 DKA500
Are you using serial or graphics console?
(>>> show console)
What alpha server do you have?

Re: Jumping to BootStrap Code
Did you give it enough time to boot? Was there any activity of the server or CDROM when you felt it has hung ?
After mounting the CD - just try to do a dd to read the starting few MB of the CD drive
dd if=/dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 of=/dev/null bs=256 count=80
This will read 10 MB of the CD data from the begining. Check if its gicing any errors while reading.

Ninad

Re: Jumping to BootStrap Code
Here are the observations:
There is no difference when I use the command:
>>> boot -flag 0,80 DKA500
The console still hangs at "jumping to bootstrap code".
I am using Serial console and the server is a DS20 alpha server.
Hello Ninad,
I am able to mount the CD and view the contents of the CD.
Here are the commands I used:
# mount -r -t cdfs /dev/rz5c /cdrom
# ls /cdrom
AASMOR ARCHIVE DOC FW_APB.EXE;1 TS202C
ALPHA AS1200 DS10 GS140 UTILITY
ALPHA800 AS4X00 DS20 GS320 XP1000
ALPHA8X00 AS8X00 DS20L MONET
ALPHAPC164LX CIXCD DS25 OPTIONS
ALPHAPC164SX DMCC21164A ES40 QVET
ALPHAVME5 DMCC21264 ES45 SMMTABLE.TXT;1
And here is the output of the command suggested by you:
# dd if=/cdrom of=/dev/null bs=256 count=80
8+0 records in
8+0 records out
I thank both of you for replying to my messages.
Rgds,
Ashwini

Re: Jumping to BootStrap Code
You got it right!!! The terminal was connected to COM2. I switched that to COM1 and booted the CD. The firmware has been updated. Thank you so much for giving me the solution to my problem.
