I would like to thank the many people who replied and offered
suggestions and encouragement. In the end, having checked the cabling
several times, I disconnected both the power and scsi connections and
replaced them with a different set. This did the trick and the disk was
recognized.
The system booted, however I now get the message:
INIT: Command is repawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors.
id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty console console vt100"
I suppose soembody knows the answer too this.
Here's a clue. When I restored the disk, I made the advfs domains
root and usr. In fstab it uses the original, root_domain and
usr_domain. Is this the problem? How do I fix it? Put the disk back
into the other system and edit fstab and fdmsn?
Regards,
Peter
