Hi managers,

I have problems installing DU 3.2C via FDDI.

The target machine is an AlphaServer 2100 5/250
with a DEC DEFPA-AA FDDI controller for PCI bus. Booting
with the command 'boot -fi "" fwa0' loads the vmunix, but ends in
single user mode with the error message
"Cannot determine RIS home directory on"

Booting via Ethernet ('boot -fi "" fwa0') works fine (same RI-Server,
same IP address).

Any ideas?

TIA
Gerhard
