Greetings,
Setting up a new DS-10 ev6/466. Installed the 1GB of memory we want in
it, and ">>>show mem" show 1024Mbytes good. The box has two ethernet
(tulip) cards, one to go to a 10base-T network (outside connectivity), one
to a 100b-T switch, so ">>>set ewb0_mode fast", which succeeds w/o
trouble. That's it; time to boot first time. The box has a "default"
Tru64 install on it, and I wanted to come up single-user and execute
"bcheckrc" to check and mount things, to take a look around before
configuring. ">>>b -flags s"; a valid boot block is found, booting
procedes normally, some pci bus probes and isa0 assigns, then tu0 and tu1
both check out, and the next thing after tu1 configs normally to 100Base
TX (perhaps coincidentally) is init of something called ata0. I'm a bit
surprised, as I know ATA to be a fast IDE disk standard. I thought this
system was SCSI (perhaps it still is).
The boot message is
ata0 at pci0 slot 13
ata0: ACER M1543C
upon which the box simply hangs. Booting genvmunix single results in the
same thing.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
