It would be much easier to diagnose if you would describe how you are
doing
the boot, with which parameters and in which phase you get the error
message.
Even better to post the whole booting session output from your console.
Simply: boot dka300 (DKA300 is the CD-ROM)
It does this shortly after loading the boot images. 7.2 gets
further...but it BUGCHKs before entering BACKUP.
Are you sure you have the SCSI bus intact and terminated accordingly?
And your installation media (CD-ROM) is known to be working?

Are these OPenVMS installation disks you burned yourself? Are you trying
to read these with an RD45 or earlier?

So when they talk about LAT support they're not going to fall back into =
some kind of VT220 emulator but try to actually connect to an X11 server =
over LAT? How do you tell DECwindows to even answer those requests?
I'm not quite following your question. LAT is just a transport just like
TCP/IP and DECnet. Why do you thing there should be any issue with an X11
client and the X11 server? It's transparent to them.

Fantastic. I remember reading that a long long time ago, just when we were phasing the VMS machines and terminals out in favour of Ultrix DECstations and VAXstations.

Brian, how do you think this is going? Are we going to get them to hook =
up?
I do believe so. There are some other things concerning Eisner that need
to be addressed before connection to HECnet (not involving the connection)
but I'm not at liberty to discuss them publicly. It's nothing ominous, so
just sit tight.
Good to hear that! Something I've been considering for a while is that if they were to join, should we invite their whole userbase to the HECnet mailing list or possibly just the EISNER adminds?
I personally think the admins would make a better choice, there are lists like DECTEK for general DEChead stuff.

Reading a manual for a NCD X terminal and it interestingly supports X11 over DECNET.
Anybody have much experience with this?
I ran it very briefly between a MicroVAX-II and a VAXstation-2000 a
long time ago, just to play with it. It was neat when I got it working,
but then it dawned on me that it really wasn't any different from
running it over TCP/IP. ;)
Meaning it works for a few minutes and then breaks completely? ;)
