Thanks to those who replied to my mail
about "DU 4.0B crashing unexpectedly".

This is in fact a hardware problem - disk or controller, I suppose.
(after a small "click" sound, the system disk sudenly becomes
unaccessible, so there is even no chance to dump any crash data)

The first thing I want to try is to move the system to another
disk/partition. Is it enough to copy files ?
I suppose it is not.
I have copied the / and /usr files to another disk and after

>> boot another_disk

I get

can't open osf_boot

What should I do else ?

Thanks in advance for any hints.

Marcin

PS: sorry if it is a stupid question, but it's midnight here ;-)
