I got the base installation done from a floppy into a 300mb partition. When I try to access the Archive 2150S tape unit to extract the files, I get an "error 9" from cpio. The tape is loaded, and the drive worked just a few hours ago (on the same system) when it was running Esix (system V r3). The scsi drive is id 4, the boot disk is 0, and the cdc disk is 1. During the boot, there is an error trying to read the disk label from the cdc drive (it is formatted for dos). Is this reminiscent of any known problems? BTW, this is 0.1 I'm using. Thanks, Bill -- Bill Heiser heiser@bu.acs.edu, heiser@world.std.com
