Hello,

yesterday i could not build a bootable tape. Today I can build
such a tape but when I try to start my system:

at SRM console prompt I type:
boot mka600

then the boot start, saying that block 0 of mka600 is a valid boot
block. Then after
quit a long time (3-4 minutes) I see usualy boot messages then it hang
with
the following message:

No disk label
can't open vmunix

Enter <kernel_name> [option_1 ... option_n]
Hit <cr> to boot default kernel 'vmunix'



Any ideas, did someone of you manage to make btcreate work, then succeed
in
booting such a tape?
Any comment or help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
