[HECnet] VMS on zx6000 - argh?

[Sampsa Laine]

Don't know much about the EFI options but do you have a console cable for it? Just boot it plugged into another box via the console serial port.

At least on my RX2600 it's a big weird DB connector joined to a cable that has like 3 DB9 serial connectors hanging off of it.

Well I got my new disks today so I decided to throw VMS at my zx6000. No go.

Boots okay from DVD-ROM but barfs instantly reporting:

Unable to identify primary console device

You must select a console input device from the boot manager menu

I have checked and the USB port is selected as the Console Input Device. The keyboard works fine. I don't understand... :(
