We have a machine with a single disk used for some testing that recently got
upgraded to Tru64 5.1B (PK3). Now we'd like to re-install the machine
fresh, but are running into a couple of problems. When booting off the
Tru64 5.1B CD, the system states something to the effect of "Saving hardware
configuration information". If we subsequently go through the OS install,
when the system reboots it complains that it can't find the partitions we
specified and refuses to boot.
We tried escaping to a shell and dd'ing /dev/zero to the disk, but it
appears that /dev/zero isn't available.
Anyone have a workaround, or a way to boot off the CD without it saving the
previous hardware configuration?
Thanks,
