Subj: Can't open OSF_BOOT

Hello,

my question was :

>my system running DU4.0E doesn't restart. On the console there is the message
>"can't open osf_boot" after a startup attempt. Trying with a single user
>bootstrap I have the same result.

the answer is :

- boot from DU CD
- start the Unix shell
- verify the root partition with fsck
- if the partition is fine, try to copy osf_boot file from CD

In my case the root file system is gone, fsck wasn't able to fix it, so probably
my disk could be broken.

Thank's to :
