I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll try:
I just got a DECserver 90TL and now I'm trying to get it to work, maybe I
can use it to access some serial consoles of my Alphas running Tru64.
About one year ago someone asked on this list for the boot file image for
a DECserver 90TL (file mneng1.sys):
http://aa11.cjb.net/tru64_unix_managers/2000/04/0066.html
I could not find a SUMMARY to this question.
Three years ago (
http://www.bucks.edu/~moorem/alpha/Apr1998-53.html) there
was some explanation how to setup bootp to download the boot image to the
DS 90TL. I tried it but then decided to use mopd on linux, see below.
Also last year someone searched for the newer firmware images (mneng2.sys
or mneng3.sys):
http://aa11.cjb.net/tru64_unix_managers/2000/02/0050.html
and mentioned that mneng1.sys resides on some Ultrix/VMS CD.
I already found Mneng2.zip and Mneng3.zip on a cabletron server
(
ftp://ftp.cabletron.com/pub/unsupported/DNAS_2_2_BL29D_52/). I
compiled mopd-linux, set it up and was able to transfer mneng2.sys to the
DS 90TL.
But then the DECserver does not like this boot image and starts looking
for a dump host, I guess it will only run wit MNENG1, I think it has not
the required 4MB memory upgrade for MNENG2 installed.
moptrace (from mopd-linux) dumps the requests which specify "MNENG1"as:
Dst : ab:0:0:1:0:0 MOP Dump/Load Multicast
Src : 8:0:2b:a2:86:bc
Proto : 6001 MOP Dump/Load
Length : 0015 (21)
Code : 08 Request program
Device Type : 9e (null) '(null)'
Format : 01
Program Type : 02 Operating System
Software : 06 'MNENG1'
Processor : 00 System Processor
Data Link Typ: 01 Ethernet
DL Buff Size : 05d4 (1492)
So I'm still in the need of MNENG1.SYS. Can anyone help me?
We have lots of Tru64 Software CDs (SPL, DECcampus, I think also
Ultrix stuff), where should I start looking for it? What
Ultrix CD could be meant in the above message
(
http://aa11.cjb.net/tru64_unix_managers/2000/02/0050.html)?
Or is it available somewhere on the net, or could someone mail it to me?
Thanks
