        Can anyone tell me where these (null) cdrom and tape devices come
from?

   56: 11 xxx cdrom none 0 1 (null)
   57: 4 xxx tape none 0 1 tape0 [0/5/0]
   58: 5 xxx tape none 0 1 (null)
   60: 12 xxx cdrom none 0 1 cdrom1 [3/5/0]
   61: 13 xxx tape none 0 1 tape2 [0/6/0]

thanks

Subject: booting problems on an ES40

Hello Managers, happy new year!

We have an ES40 running Tru64 4.0F.
I've been trying to boot this machine from CDROM - without success.
The machine doesn't boot from CDROM, Floppy and the generic kernel
"genvmunix", the only way to boot it up is the customize kernel.
When I power on the machine it goes to the SRM console without any problem.
When I try to boot the CDROM, or the generic kernel, the following occurs:
        P00>>>boot -fi genvmunix -fl s
        (boot dra0.0.0.4.1 -file genvmunix -flags s)
        block 0 of dra0.0.0.4.1 is a valid boot block
        reading 16 blocks from dra0.0.0.4.1
        bootstrap code read in
        base = 200000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 2000(8192)
        initializing HWRPB at 2000
        initializing page table at 3fb56000
        initializing machine state
        setting affinity to the primary CPU
        jumping to bootstrap code

That's it nothing more happens!

There is one thing I've changed: I've removed the graphics card and changed
the console from graphics to serial.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you very much!
