tlug: off-topic: VAX help

[Jim Schweizer <schweiz@example.com>]

Hi all,

Sorry for the non-linux post.

I'm having no luck booting an old VAXstation 4000. SHOW DEV says
there's a hard drive at A/3/0 named RZ23L but when I try

>>> B/F0000001 RZ23L 

it returns '?41 DEVASSIGN, RZ23L'. I also tried other variations
replacing RZ23L but.... When I try to boot it any other way it
tries to boot the Ethernet connection which no longer exists and
hangs at -EASO. I'm trying to get to the SYSBOOT> prompt where,
hopefully, I can start getting things straightened out.

Thanks,

Jim S.
