Hi, I'm having a problem creating a boot tape under VMS. I followed
the directions from the NET-BSD FAQ homepage.
Here's what I did:
1) Used kermit in binary mode to get the boot file (file 1) to
the VAX.
2) did an init/erase mua0 "". ran fine.
3) did a mount/foreign/block=512 mua0:
4) did a copy to mua0: and got the following error:
%COPY-E-WRITEERR, error writing <filename>
-RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
-SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value
%COPY-W-NOTCMPLT, <filename> not completely copied.
where <filename> is whatever I called the first file.
What am I doing wrong? Ideas?
Also, I was perusing the archives and apparently this may be a waste
of effort since apparently there's some problem with the 1.2beta boot files?
What's the scoop?
Thanks.
GZ
