Evening,

I've been trying to netboot ULTRIX today and I have gotten nowhere.
Works
fine in SIMH!

The kernel output says my DELQA is in DEQNA-LOCK mode despite any
changes made to the switches...is this Ultrix behaviour or do I have
2 bum
DELQAs?

I wouldn't be too concerned about this detail, but if you want to
worry about it, see if you can get a different output when running
under SIMH.


Alright.

FYI: This is Ultrix 4.0.   It appears to stop at printing what the
time has been set
to.

I don't recall what the sequence of output produced at boot time is
(maybe you capture that and tell us), but one thing to look at would
be proper sequencing of the Qbus bus grants.   What type of
chassis/backplane are you using and what devices are plugged into the
bus and what slots are they in??


BA123.

5 4 3 2 1
N D R R P
5 4 3 2 1
E D R R P

N = NIC, D = DHV11, R = RAM, P = Processor, E = Emprt.   All slots after
are empty

Hum. Hard to say for sure, but this might be a classical case of you having the NIC in the wrong place. Move it over to the "E" side...
