It's actually:
Loading vmunix
text 5058096
short read (text)

After reading through some archived messages (on the Tru64-Unix-Managers
mailing list archive), where some people have essentially tried to do
the same thing, I concluded that changing just the references in
/etc/fdmns and the sysconfigtab was probably not sufficient. I undid
those changes and ran the following instead:
# dsfmgr -v running under my reloaded directory tree reported errors
# with missing device numbers, and one strange one about an incorrect
# minor number on /dev/scp_scsi). I had the system correct these
# errors:
chroot /mnt /sbin/dsfmgr -vF
# It then told me to run "dsfmgr -K" to remove the extraneous devuce
# files (the numbers here are definitely not related to either my
# original system disk or the replacement, so I'm quite sure this had
# nothing to do with my problem, but I felt it would make sense to make
# sure things are clean).
chroot /mnt /sbin/dsfmgr -K
# Now we want to remove the database entries for the failed disk:
chroot /mnt /sbin/hwmgr delete hwid 56
chroot /mnt /sbin/dsfmgr -R hwid 56
# and move the replacement disk to take its place:
chroot /mnt /sbin/dsfmgr -m dsk2 dsk1
I thought for sure this time I had figured out the problem, but then I
tried to reboot the system one more time, but unfortunately, I still get
the same result ("short read (text)") ...
I'm still hoping someone will see something I'm missing ...
