The speed of this list keeps amazing me.
The solution came *really* fast.
After booting with options to bypass /etc/sysconfigtab (boot -fl cs) I could
correct my typo. The system rebooted successfully.
Thanks Bryan Lavelle.

Try booting without using the sysconfigtab, boot -c, or boot -cs to bypass
and get to single. A mistake in sysconfigtab is usually fatal, which is why
we recommend that sysconfigtab is NEVER manually edited. Use stanza files
and the sysconfigdb command instead.

Subject: system cannot boot
Hi,
Something alike is in the archives, I cannot find a solution though.
After a change in /etc/sysconfigtab my AS1000 (Tru64 5.1) hangs during boot.
Somewhere halfway the sequence it tries to allocate the swappartition; It
doesn't pass this one: vm_swap_init: swap set to eager allocation mode.
Booting into single-user mode (and/or using /genvmunix) doesn't solve the
problem.
I can imagine that I've made a typo in sysconfigtab, but I have never seen a
system not being able to boot because of that.
Any hints, suggestions?
TIA
Alex Harkema
