I just was given a Unix system that has 3 server work stations and 3 20'color 
monitors it also came with a Thorn MRI 9 track tape system.
I hooked it up turned it on and got this on the screen.
EEProm: Diagnostic Auto-boot in Progress
then it says No Default Boot Devices.
can anyone tell me what this means I have two harddrives that came with it and
they seem to come on ok when the system is turned on.
and the tape system came with a case of tapes .some say Unix 4.2 bsd tape 
1,2,3. The unix system came with no books and I know nothing about the Unix 
os. Any help would be appreciated. 
                                       
                                                   Sincerely
                                                 Dave Skirvin
