9113.0. "V4.0B build help" by TEACH::DAN () Tue Mar 11 1997 15:17


I'm trying to build Digital Unix V4.0B on an Alphaserver 1000A 5/133. I'm 
using the serial port for my console device.  Below is the >>>show config
from the console followed by the attempt to boot up standalone Unix from 
the CD. The boot dies complaining abount "no serial driver". I do have the 
console variable "console" set to serial and I've powered off/on.

Any ideas?????

thanks,
dan

Did you run the OSF/VMS ECU?  Was this a NT system?  If so, you need to run
ECU to generate the entries required by OSF (like the console).

    Yes, it was configured for NT. I had ">>>runecu" to switch to UNIX but
    I had forgotten to load the VMS/UNIX ECU floppy.
    
    I works fine now...thanks for your help.
