TRU64 cannot boot or even go to SRM prompt



Hi Guys,

I have a system (ES45) running tru64 v5.1b using Smart Array 5300
controller for the BA6106d drive cage - there are 6 x 146 GB disk in the
drive cage with the first two in RAID1 and the next 4 in RAID5
configuration. 1 of the 4 disks in RAID 5 config appears to be defective.
When the server was rebooted the message on the console states:

"The following SCSI drive(s) need Automatic Data Recovery (Rebuild):?4;1H
SCSI Port 1: SCSI IDs 0, 5?5;1H Select "F1" to continue with recovery of
data to drive(s)?6;1H Select "F2" to continue without recovery of data to
drive(s)?7;1H (RESUME = "F1" OR "F2" KEY)"

Pressing F1 or F2 doesn't have any response (we're using VT510 Terminal).
Is there any other way to skip this process and proceed with the boot up
or even going to the SRM prompt?

Regards,
