The result is obviously that I tried correctly, so I have to look in
another direction. The answer with most details gave Bill Bennet

I happen to have an ULTRIX 4.3 installation guide in my collection
of manuals, so I can confirm that you have the right CD (it
should be bootable); the boot command should be (assuming that
your motherboard is at TC slot 3 and that the CD-ROM drive with
the SCSI ID 4 is connected to the on-board SCSI controller, and not,
say, an additional SCSI controller in a different TC slot):
>> boot 3/rz4/vmunix
So except for the leading "/" and that you should be issuing
the command from the console prompt (both of which possibly
typos?), the command you show is more-or-less correct. If !!! was typo!
you can't boot by issuing the command shown above, then
either your CD is damaged or your CD-ROM isn't working;
perhaps try cleaning both?
Hope this helps,
Bill Bennett
