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
