Hi everybody,
My original message referred to the fact that I could not boot
successfully unix on my DEC 3000/300X, because of the SCSI error
listed below. The solution was to type the following in the
console mode:
>>> SHOW DEV
>>> BOOT DKA300
Basically, there were two internal drives listed, and by trying
both of them, I found out that the booting information was on
DKA300.
