G'day,
I fired up a VAXstation 8000 that was sitting in a corner collecting dust.
After some fiddling, I managed to get it to work -- at least partly. It
would not even show the chevron prompt until I pulled the KK810 cable
(KK810 is "Control Assembly") out of GIF (Goes In First) BI bus terminator.
Even then, no luck: (DU50 is a RD54 that is hung off KFBTA)
Hand transcribed logs:
Plain boot:
>>> B DU50
01000000
%BOOT-F-Failed to allocate PFN bitmap
Boot with memory test disabled:
>>> B/R5:84 DU50
01000000
%BOOT-F-Unexpected exception
PC=000003E1
>>> B/R5:2004 DU50
01000000
%BOOT-W-Ten percent or more of main memory is bad
%BOOT-F-Insufficient memory for CI
Boot with boot breakpoint set:
>>> B/R5:20 DU50
1 BRK AT 00003E8C
00003E8C/7E5BD001
Something is obviously wrong, but without docs I am going nowhere...
Comments? Advice?
