4361.0. "DEFQA boot device ?" by QBUS::E_BURKHALTER () Wed Apr 16 1997 18:38

    
    We have a customer that has a 14 node cluster.  Three of the
    nodes are VAX 4000 Model 705A systems that boot off their
    own system disk.  Each of them have a DEFQA FDDI card that works.
    
    They would like to be able to boot these systems off a VAX 7000
    via the FDDI.
    
    At the >>> show config displays EZA0 as a device then it displays
    the QBUS devices KZQSA and DEFQA, but doesn't call the DEFQA
    a FQA device.
    
    The systems are running console 2.4.
    
    I've checked the other notes in the notes conference in reference
    to the DEFQA.  It doesn't seem to me that the DEFQA is a boot
    device.
    
    Am I correct?
