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?
Tru64 can only boot from the first CD-ROM on the first IDE interface.
While in SRM, do a "show config | more" and look for the first PCI IDE
controller. The CD-ROM on that controller should be called "dka0.0...".
If it's called "dka100.0.0..." you will not be able to boot from it.
Simply switching the CD-ROM to be "master" on the first IDE interface
should do the trick.
Take care,
