People,

Has anyone had any difficulties upgrading from 4.0D to 5.1?

We did the 4.0D->G ok, now this won't work:

Cannot mount /dev/rz4c on /updmnt.
Check with the system manager of your host server.
# ls -la /updmnt

# file /dev/rrz4c

We can boot of the CD fine, and do a fresh install, tried another CD in case
there was a problem with the disk. The drive upgraded from 4.0D - 0G ok. We
have installed the patch kit:

# ls /usr/local/patches
patch_kit t64v40gas0002-20010111.tar
# sizer -v
Digital UNIX V4.0G (Rev. 1530); Thu Feb 22 11:40:44 EST 2001
# uname -a
OSF1 ngudns.newengland.tafensw.EDU.A V4.0 1530 alpha
#

Polite suggestions welcome, next stop the compaq CCS....

Cheers,

Guy
