Hello Admins:

GS140 6/525 with firmware 6.4, 12 CPU's, 8GB RAM, KFTHA on slot 8. I can't
install tru64 UNIX V 5.1 on it, when i tried to boot from cdrom with
operating system some errors appears:

Boot adapter: KZPAA rev2 in bus slot 9 off of kftha0 in TLSB slot 8

Attempting to mount previous root file system disk to save hardware
configuration information...

Part of the output of show config command is:

4+ Qlogic ISP1040B isp0
6+ KGPSA-C kgppsa0
9+ KZPAA kzpaa0

There isn't port for keyboard and mouse, then i am installing the OS from
serial console.
isp0 has connected to 2 disks of 36.4 GB (ds-rz1fc-vw).
KGPSA-C, is terminated (no connection to anything)
KZPAA has the cdrom

OpenVMS V 7.3-1 is installed in 1 disk (ds-rz1fc-vw), and the server can
boot from this operating system.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

Regards.
