Good Morning:
My original post was:
After restored O/S, system booted up. I was ready to log into the system.
Regardless of what account name I entered, the "Password:" never showed up
and looped back to system banner and "Login:"
O/S: Tru64 V4.0E
Security level: Basic
++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is the full story:
I am perform a Tru64 V4.0E rebuild/restore. The media is DLT III tape; tape
drive is TZ88. Target disk is rz0. Commands used to backup / (root) and /usr
file systems are:
vdump -0 -N -u -v -f /dev/rmt0h /
vdump -0 -N -u -v -f /dev/rmt0h /usr
...
While performing the O/S rebuild (which includes root and /usr file systems
only), problem occurs. Following are my procedures:
1. Boot from Digital UNIX V4.0E Operating System CDROM # boot mka400
2. # cd /dev and # MAKEDEV rz0 tz6
3. # disklabel -z rz0; disklabel -rw rz0; # newfs /dev/rz0a and # newfs
/dev/rz0g
4. # mount /dev/rz0a /mnt
5. # cd /mnt and # vrestore xvf /dev/nrmt0h
6. # cd /mnt/dev and # MAKEDEV rz0
7. Modify /mnt/etc/fstab to change root and /usr's mount points to rz0a
and rz0g respectively.
8. Unmount /dev/rz0a, mount /dev/rz0g, and complete restore /usr from
tape.
9. Shutdown
10. >>> boot dka0 -fi "genvmunix"
...
Mounting local filesystems
/dev/rz0a on / type ufs (rw)
/dev/rz0g on /usr type ufs (rw)
initsh: /sbin/init.d/autosysconfig: not found

The system is coming up. Please wait...
The system is ready
Digital UNIX Version P4.0 (Amnesiac) console
Login: root
Digital UNIX Version P4.0 (Amnesiac) console
Login:
The "password:" never shows up.
My first reaction was "a bad tape". I have tried 4 different DLT III tapes,
all failed.
However, I used a DLT Type IV tape to backup root and /usr file systems, by
using the same vdump commands, following the same rebuild/restore
procedures, system starts up successfully.
Is there any restriction or compatibility issues between DLT III and IV
tapes?
Thanks in advance.
