Date: 7 Oct 1996 11:47:25 GMT Organization: Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany Lines: 25 Message-ID: <53aqkd$1id@kralle.zdv.Uni-Mainz.DE> NNTP-Posting-Host: ipamzlx.physik.uni-mainz.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I have a DECstation 5000/133 still running Ultrix 4.2a. The box is not attached to the net, nor do I have any second workstation to contact as the recommended helper machine. My question is: is it possible to boot a miniroot system via an attached RRD42 CDROM drive? Ultrix is able to boot from the RRD42 drive so it should be possible to install such a system on a CD. has anybody any ideas how to do or where to get well prepared CDs? I welcome any hints and tips, please email me! Thanks in advance. O.
