Hi, I asked this question on -hardware a while back but maybe that wasn't the appropriate forum. Maybe someone on here can answer this: On an AlphaStation 400 with SRM V6.7-2, when I try to boot from the CDROM, it finds a valid boot block, but then fails. I presume I have the right device: >>>show device dka0.0.0.6.0 DKA0 RZ26L 442D dka200.2.0.6.0 DKA200 RZ28L-AS 0654 dka400.4.0.6.0 DKA400 RRD43 1084 dka0 and dka200 are hdd's, so dka400 must be the CDROM (the DEC labels are cryptic to me). so I do >>>boot dka400 -file '' -flags '' and get (boot dka400.4.0.6.0 -file '' -flags '') block 0 of dka400.4.0.6.0 is a valid boot block reading 370 blocks from dka400.4.0.6.0 bootstrap code read in base = 1f2000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 2e400 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at 1e4000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code halted CPU 0 halt code = 2 kernel stack not valid halt PC = 4 This is a CD burned from the 4.4-install.iso image. I burned it on a Linux box with cdrecord. Am I doing something wrong? I don't have a lot of experience with the Alpha platform, and I was following the handbook's procedure (section 2.3.1.2) Thanks, Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
