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.


What I was wondering about the OP (and this one) that VMS went flawless
and Tru64 caused trouble. My experience was the opposite:
Tru64 installed w/o problem, whereas for VMS I had to use
an external Plextor SCSI CD-ROM.
