1257.0. "DEC7000 will not boot LFU off of a writebooted disk" by CSC32::GULDEN () Fri Apr 04 1997 11:24

      I am attempting to boot LFU off of a non system disk.
    I have copied the firmware AXP7000_v16.exe contiguous to 
    a disk DUA900:[000000]. I then writeboot that file on the AXP. 
    
     The disk shows at the console as DUB900.2.0.13.0 . I enter
    >>> B -fl 0,0 dub900.2.0.13.0
    After map gets
    
    Booting...                                               
    Connecting to boot device dka400.4.0.3.0       
    Created device: dka400.4.0.3.0   
    block 0 of dka400.4.0.3.0 is  a valid boot block      
    reading 894 blocks from dka400.4.0.3.0     
    bootstrap code read in  
    base = 200000, start = 0     
    initializing HWRPB at 2000    
    initializing page table at 1f4000      
    initializing machine state     
    jumping to bootstrap at 200000 
    
    Halt 02
    Kernel Stack not Valid
    >>>Bootstrap failed
    
    
      I can use the same file on the system disk and specify flags of 0,80
    and at bootfile enter dub900:[sys0.sysexe]axp7000_v16.exe and it boots
    ok. Any ideas why this is failing.
