2100 4/200 osfpalcode X1.45-12 SRM V4.7-143

I am trying to load V4.0B onto a box that previously had VMS
installed on it. When I boot from CD it seems to come up all right till
right at the end when it comes up with :

*** Performing CDROM installation
    Starting Xserver Please wait ...
    424

At that point the console blacks out. I can see the arrow or sometimes
a white box from the mouse , but that is all.

I upgraded the firmware and ran the ECU.
I set bus_probe_algorithm = new
         boot_osflags = ""
         auto_action = halt
         os_type = UNIX
It is a graphics console.
        
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated .


Thanking you ,
