Hi all,
Has anybody ever seen a console floppy image anywhere on the internet
labeled:
/"RX11 VAX DSK LD DEV #1"/
It is referenced in BSD 4 documentation with respect to formatting disks
(edited):
USING DEC SOFTWARE TO FORMAT
Warning: These instructions are for people with 11/780 CPU’s.
You should shut down UNIX and halt the machine to do any disk
formatting.
Formatting an RP06. Load the console floppy labeled, "RX11 VAX DSK
LD DEV #1" in the console disk drive, and type the following commands:
>>BOOT

DS>ATTACH RH780 SBI RHO 8 5
DS>ATTACH RPO6 RHO DBA0
DS>SELECT DBAO
DS>LOAD EVRAC
DS>START/SEC:PACKINIT
This is for drive 0 on mbaO; use 9 instead of 8 for mbal, etc.
