You are most welcome -- BTW: the first name is Clement, my last is Cole
and my friends call me Clem.
One thing to remember... when woring with older versions of UNIX its not a
good idea to be modify in the a partition that is live. Later versions
were better about keeping the buffering system of your way.
Ken wrote the standalone tools for V7 so you do those sort of low level
things from it.
Best wishes.
Clem

Ah I gather you are running on rp0 (ie it's
mounted as root).
Do the dd from the standalone system or boot from an rk05

I am unable to boot from the RP06 disk that I
installed into the boot
block onto via:
dd if=/usr/mdec/hpuboot of=/dev/rp0 count=1
Doing this from memory as couple of issues:
1.) do an ls -l of /dev/*rp* you need to use the raw (character) driver
not the blocked driver
2.) I believe the hp/rp driver is partitioned. Make sure you use the
proper partition.
Clem,
I tried it with the raw device and partition 0. Here are the devices and
my approach:
# ls /dev/*rp*
/dev/rp0
/dev/rp3
/dev/rrp0
/dev/rrp3
# /etc/mount /dev/rp3 /usr
# dd if=/usr/mdec/hpuboot of=/dev/rrp0 count=1 conv=sync
0+1 records in
1+0 records out
or
# dd if=/usr/mdec/hpuboot of=/dev/rrp0 count=1
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
# sync
# sync
# sync
