8656.0. "boot unix v4.0a from hsz50 disk" by SALEM::WONG () Thu Jan 30 1997 16:16

Can we boot unix v4.0b from HSZ50 ?
    When we tried to install unix v4.0b from CD-rom which connected to 
    HSZ50, we got the followings :
    
	Enter the current date (as mm-dd-yy): 01-30-97
	Enter the current time, in 24 hour format (as hh:mm): 14:37

	** Scanning system for disk devices.  Please wait ...

	/isl/Install [load_finder_output], FATAL ERROR:
    	Unable to determine what hardware is available for installation:
    	"finder -q" failure file "/tmp/finder.abort" exists
       
The installation procedure failed or was intentionally exited.  To restart 
the installation, halt and reboot the system or enter:  restart

-------------------
    With the sizer -n we got :
MAKEDEV  fd0  rz2  rzb32  rzc32  rzd32  rzb33  rzc33  rzd33  rzb34  rzc34  rzd3 
    ---------------------
    we tried to MAKEDEV with all above and ln -s with rz32,  the
    installation went a little further to newfs and abort during to overlap
    the partitions
    
    If anybody know how to get around the above boot from HSZ50 will help.
    
    Thank you.
