Because you are misspelling it.

Try /usr/sde/osf1/build/bos/bin/bosii -F -b pt.shadow -d rz8

instead of

/usr/sde/osf1/build/bos/bin/bossi -F -b pt.shadow -d rz8


NOTE bosii vs bossi

Look again at what you sent. You repeatedly tried to execute bossi, yet you 
list the command bosii.  Try bosii - it works, really :-)

Thanks (everyone) for pointing out my blatant error.  I new it had to be 
something simple.

I know that I can use bosii to install a "complete" set
of bits from the nightly build but is there some procedure
I can use to do a bosii from a private build pool?

No, there is no procedure to BOS a private build pool, however it *is* possible
to do so.  It would only be worthwhile if you intended to use bosii in this
fashion consistently, day after day.  If not, it would take less time, and less
effort, to simply 'dd' your build area over to the disk you want to boot.

But the build area obj tree does not look like the target system.  Files
are built in one place yet reside in another.  Also, some commands have
multiple names (links).  Who sets this up?  How does the "output" tree
get built in the nightly pool?

I should have said, from your install tree after you finished the install step.


Someone else will have to answer your other question about how the install step
is accomplished.

Since nobody has stepped forward to explain how the install step is
accomplished, could you tell me who I should talk to to find out about
it?

Do a workon as root to your sandbox  (ln -s ~schloss/.sandboxrc /.sandboxrc)

setenv TOSTAGE path_to_some_large_enough_spot

build -k install_all

then in the kernel directory:

make -ckEF install


That's about it.
