Greetings, fellow managers:

I am currently trying to make DU 4.0c fit onto my system. I have
a loaner system disk available which I have partitioned to the new
partitions, and dumped the three partitions of the system disk to
the new partitions of the loaner disk.

But how do I make the loaner disk bootable?


disklabel -rw -t ufs /dev/rz3a scsi rzaboot bootrza

doesn't work. There's one optional argument "packid"
which I don't know how to fill in, and it appears
rzaboot and bootrza are not the right things to put
in the primary-boot and secondary-boot arguments.

It comes up with the error "can't open osf_boot".


If anyone knows what it takes to make a bootable disk, please let me know.

Thanks
