Hi,

Guess what, mine was id4 by accident! (-:

I have done so. I even did an install where the cdrom was the only device on the bus and it paniced at the same point, with the same problem. I have even used other toshiba cdroms and even other decstations, I tried a 5000/200.
I have given up going this route.
I have used setld to install the base software
onto a 3000/400 running Tru64 version 5 and hope to install the box via ris. I have substituted a 5k/200 for the 5k/240 since the 240 does not do tftp.
Now I have to go post to the dec/alpha managers list about why the decstation is not booting via ris.. )-:
Thank god installing netbsd on the other boxes was easier!
Thanks to all that replied.

Charles
