Hello, managers!

We tried to update a machine (AlphaServer 1000A 5/400) from 4.0b to 4.0d.
As I read one of the messages concerning patch removal too late: we have 4.0b
and all patches removed via dupatch.

We booted it to single user mode,
 who -r
   . run-level S Oct 1 08:39 S 1 S
did a bcheckrc (no errors), but

/sbin/installupdate /dev/rz4c
/sbin/installupdate: test: argument expected

Any ideas, what this could be or how I could get more information?

Thanks in advance!
