>i) COPY/SYS DDO: DD1:
This needs to be followed by the
COPY/BOOT DD1:RT11FB.SYS DD1:
and then it should be bootable. As for initializing the output
tape (DD1) first, yes... that is advisable:
INIT/NOQ DD1:
However, I'm concerned by the INPUT and OUTPUT errors. The OUTPUT
error while doing the COPY/BOOT indicates that block 0 or 2-5
are bad on the output tape. These are the blocks which would
receive the boot code. The INPUT error from DD0 indicates that
they have a bad bootable tape... if it is the only copy they have,
then they really have a problem.
When the system is booting, it should be possible to interrupt
the startup command file by simply ^Cing as soon as you see the
RT11FB V04.00
bootup banner.
