My PWS 500 AU won't boot the Tru64 CDROM I got with it, giving me an
error message saying
"block 0 of dkb0.0.0.207.0 is not a valid boot device"

Linux and OpenVMS installation CDs boot fine, which makes me curios. Is
the CD broken, or am I doing something wrong?


not sure if it helps, but I use the following:

set bootdef_dev ""
set os_type UNIX
boot dka400 # CD-ROM @ ID=4

but since normally VMS is more picky about such details,
it could well be that your media is damaged.
