496.0. "bootable tape on AS255 anyone try it." by WASHDC::nqsrv433.nqo.dec.com::sarasin () Tue Apr 29 1997 22:45

I know it is not supported in the SPD but has anyone tried making a 
bootable tape on an AS255. I have a customer who has 200's and 255 and 
he wants to be able to use bootable tapes on both types of systems to 
distribute changes to remote systems.

496.1	But can you use it ....(?)	RDGENG::SPILLANED		`Fri May 02 1997 11:44`	8
	You can use btcreate to make a tape on any platform, (assuming you have a tape drive :-) ) the issue is whether you can boot the tape that you made - hence, I understand, the statements related to platform support, dS
496.2	So I ask my question again	WASHDC::SARASIN		`Sun May 04 1997 20:39`	1
	Does any one know if it works on a 255?
496.3	doesn't mean you couldn't, for all I know	SMURF::BAT	Segui la tua beatitudine	`Mon May 05 1997 13:01`	3
	Sam, No one has tried it here that Lee or I know of.
496.4	Thanks	WASHDC::nqsrv427.nqo.dec.com::sarasin		`Tue May 06 1997 01:53`	3
	Thanks I will see if anyone has tried to boot one in the OSF conf. If it works there it should work on MLS. I do not have access to a 255 or I would give it a shot my self.
