I have a DS 5000/120 that was running Ultrix until its disks were
fried. I tried writing a disklabel to a Quantum LPS540S that I had
laying around, but when I tried to boot, it said (bb rd) or something like
that. I also tried it on an old IBM drive, but that showed the same
error message.
1) Is this disk supported (did I do something else wrong)?
2) If not, would anyone who lives near Pittsburgh, Pa want a free diskless
machine (preferribly for at least some NetBSD development, but if I can't
get it to work easily, I mainly just want it gone). It has a cdrom,
tape, floppy, mouse, pmag-b and a VR299 monitor. The space key on the
keyboard is slightly broken (still works, just feels funny. Probably
easy to fix). All I ask is that you come and get it soon.
