Press RETURN to continue : Now, what's volume 2? ;) (i'm using your tape image) Never mind, reattaching the same tape worked... Ahhh ok. I must be terrible at installing RSTS/E, used TQ, and post-install I still can't run sysgen ;) (yeah, I know I could've generated it from the installer but that's not the point). Happen to have a pre-built rsts/e disk around? I seem to be terrible at installing it myself. -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

I've done DOZENS of installs from that image. Dozens. Never saw that. Oh, wait...MT0:...TU10? It thinks it knows how long the tape is, but it's not getting it right. Attach it as an MSCP device, say tq0, and boot from that. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
