Hi Managers

I'm just installing the firmware update v6.7 on a DS20 Alphastation running
Tru64 5.1B. The instructions require me to boot from the CD-ROM using boot
<drive name>. I've booted from the CD-ROM many times on my old
Alphastation 255 where the appropriate command is boot
dka400.4.0.6.0. However, for the DS20 the drive name must be different as
dka400.4.0.6.0 is not recognised. The error is:

failed to open dk*400.4.0.6.0

I've tried just dka400 but it isn't recognised either. This time the error
is slightly different:

device dka400 is invalid

The output of file /dev/rdisk/cdrom0a shows that the CD-ROM is a RRD45 on
the Alphastation 255 and a RRD47 on the DS20.

Is there a command I can use to retrieve the drive name on the DS20?

Thanks
Derek
