The information provided here is ! 38: limited to the early steps in the installation process; ! 39: i.e. up to the point where the root file system is installed. ! 40: If you have a problem installing ! 41: the release consult this section before contacting our group. ! 42: .SH ! 43: \fBBooting the generic system\fP ! 44: .LP ! 45: \fIcopy does not copy 205 records\fP ! 46: .LP ! 47: If a tape read error occurred, ! 48: clean your tape drive heads. If a disk write error occurred, ! 49: the disk formatting may have failed. If the disk pack is ! 50: removable, try another one. If you are currently running ! 51: UNIX, you can reboot your old system and use \fIdd\fP to ! 52: copy the mini-root file system into a disk partition ! 53: (assuming the destination is not in use by the running ! 54: system). ! 55: .LP ! 56: \fIboot prints ``not a directory''\fP ! 57: .LP ! 58: The ! 59: .I boot ! 60: program was unable to find the requested program because ! 61: it encountered something other than a directory while ! 62: searching the file system. ! 63: This usually suggests that ! 64: no file system is present on the disk partition supplied, ! 65: or the file system has been corrupted. First check to ! 66: make sure you typed the correct line to boot. If this ! 67: is the case and you are booting from the mini-root file ! 68: system, the mini-root was probably not copied correctly off the ! 69: tape (perhaps it was not placed in the correct disk partition). ! 70: Try reinstalling the mini-root file system or, if trying ! 71: to boot the true root file system, try booting from the ! 72: mini-root file system and run \fIfsck\fP on the restored ! 73: root file system to insure its integrity. Finally, as ! 74: a last resort, copy the \fIboot\fP program from the ! 75: mini-root file system to the newly installed root file system. ! 76: .LP ! 77: \fIboot prints ``bad format''\fP ! 78: .LP ! 79: The program you requested ! 80: .I boot ! 81: to load did not have a valid magic number in its header. This should ! 82: never happen on a distribution system. If you were trying to boot off ! 83: the root file system, reboot the system on the mini-root file system ! 84: and look at the program on the root file system. Try copying the copy ! 85: of vmunix on the mini-root to the root file system also. ! 86: .LP ! 87: \fIboot prints ``read short''\fP ! 88: .LP ! 89: The file header for the program contained a size larger ! 90: than the actual size of the file located on disk. This ! 91: is probably the result of file system corruption (or a ! 92: disk I/O error). Try booting again or creating a new ! 93: copy of the program to be loaded (see above). ! 94: .LP ! 95: This section contains common problems encountered when booting ! 96: the generic version of the system. ! 97: .LP ! 98: \fIsystem panics with ``panic: iinit''\fP ! 99: .LP ! 100: This occurred because the system was unable to mount ! 101: the root file system. ! 102: The root file system supplied at the ``root device?'' ! 103: prompt was probably incorrect. Remember that when running on the ! 104: mini-root file system, this question must be answered ! 105: with something of the form \fIxx#\fP*, where \fIxx\fP is one of the ! 106: disk types listed in section 1.4, and \fI#\fP is the unit number. ! 107: If the answer had been ``dk0'', the system would have used the ``a'' ! 108: partition on unit 0 of the ``dk'' drive, where presumably no file ! 109: system exists. ! 110: .LP ! 111: Alternatively, the file system on which you were trying ! 112: to run is corrupted. Try ! 113: reinstalling the appropriate file system. ! 114: .LP ! 115: \fIsystem crashes during autoconfiguration\fP ! 116: .LP ! 117: This is almost always caused by an ! 118: unsupported device being present at a ! 119: location where a supported device was expected. ! 120: You must disable the device in some way, either ! 121: by pulling it off the bus, or by moving the location ! 122: of the console status register (consult Appendix A ! 123: for a complete list of VERSAbus CSR's used in the generic system).
