Hi,
I have an AlphaStation 3000 running DU 3.2A and want to install
DU 4.0B.
The problem is I don't have a CD on my arbetstation and I don't
have RIS.
I nfs mounted the installation CD and cpio-d the contents to a local
disk on the AS3000.
I did # disklabel -wr -t ufs /dev/rrz6c rz26 /mdec/rzboot

and tried to boot from DKA600

the result:

panic (cpu 0): vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root
syncing disks... done

DUMP: No primary swap, no explicit dumpdev.
Nowhere to put header, giving up.

Do I have to buy a CD-device or is there another way?

Thanks.

Jim Copley
