Strange. I've seen that before when I had problems with Ethernet. Anyway,
being an INFO stopcode, it should be just, well, informational and the system
should continue as usual. Or is it throwing that stopcode again and again?
My Ethernet is configured like this:

Patching monitor sources, rebuilding monitor modules and then replacing them
into TOPS10.REL is a bit involved and now here is late evening, so remember me
tomorrow or in a couple of days. :)
For now I'll just write how to patch the monitor file because it's quickier.
First of all, add the following to your KLH10 initialization file:
devdef idler 740 host
Then make a copy of your SYSTEM.EXE and work on the copy:
..R FILDDT
File: xxxxxx.EXE/P <--- /p to enable patching
[Patching file DSKB:xxxxxx.EXE[1,2]]
[35118 symbols loaded from file]
[ACs copied from CRSHAC to 0-17]
<--- FILDDT prints nothing, but it's ready to accept commands
nulcod+1/ <--- type this and nothing more
nulcod+1/ SOJG W,P <--- DDT will show you the contents of that location
nulcod+1/ SOJG W,P CONO 740,1 <--- tell him to put this there instead and
press enter to confirm
<--- if all goes well FILDDT prints nothing again (friendly, isn't it?)
^Z <--- to save and exit
Now try to boot with your patched monitor and see if does idle KLH10. This
monitor will work only if there is a device at address 740.
That didn't quite work as planned...

BATCON cannot be RUNned. It gets started by Galaxy when needed.
Try this:
.copy test.ctl=tty:
.dir <--- you have to type the dot too!
^Z
.submit/notify/out:nolog test
[Batch job TEST queued, request #58, limit 0:05:00]
.
[From SYSTEM: Job TEST request #58 finished executing at 0:32:40]
If everything goes well, you'll receive the completion message and there will
be a TEST.LOG file in your directory. TYPE it to see if it's all OK.
/notify let's you know when the job finishes, /output:nolog prevents queueing
the log for printing (given that there is no printer emulation on KLH10...).
HTH,

Disregard. I seem to just be impatient.
And something like this to enable remote DECnet file access:
SET FAL-STREAM 0 NETWORK DECNET
SET FAL-STREAM 1 NETWORK DECNET
SET FAL-STREAM 2 NETWORK DECNET
DEFINE FILE-ACCESS DEFAULT-PPN [377777,377777]
START FAL-STREAM 0:2
Those I WILL add though.
You may want to try these commands at the OPR> prompt before putting them into
the SYS:SYSTEM.CMD file.

Uptime 43:17, 114% Null time = 114% Idle + 0% Lost, 1% Overhead
More than 100% is not very good. It happened to me with a monitor that was
unable to keep time: try some DAYTIME commands in a couple of minutes and
check if it says the correct wall clock time or not...
It's off by about 30 seconds to a minute...not unexpected due to manually
setting the time.
9 [OPR] 751 5 ^C 0
This does not seem very good too: it's not detached, it's running nothing, and
it's in "^C" state... Maybe it's a stale BATCON process?
Yeah, that's a stale job.
HTH,

To Cory:
I reply to myself because I remembered an important thing: the TOPS-10 V7.05
monitor has a bug that prevents it from initializing new structures when doing
a scratch install. So, if you create a recovery tape containing that monitor,
you'll not be able to initialize disks and proceed with the installation.
The solution I found is a simple patch that adds a single instruction in a
monitor module which got modified during the very last development cycle and
was probably never throughly tested. When you'll be ready and with some spare
time, remember me to tell you how and what to do! :)
That'll be helpful.

Greetings all,
Thought I'd move this in to a cleaner, fresh thread...
I have managed to get a working install of TOPS-10 7.04/7.05 in KLH-10
with DECnet and LAT! I have tested it from my VT420.
You can test it too! SET HOST to MARLEY and LOGIN as 1,2 (no password
yet...need to tweak that a bit). Let me know how it works for you!
I still have a long way to go, and I have NO IDEA if I can replicate
this install ever again...I have saved a complete (857,360 line!) copy of
the terminal output for future reference though!
Next comes either: getting this working in SIMH, or getting it working
on a real KS10/KL10 (I can likely convert this setup to a KS10, too. I'd
just need to consult the DECnet-10 manuals). Now if only I had a KS10...;))

Good going. Now why is a red monster wearing cheap sneakers pounding

I had to summon some demons in order to get TOPS-10 working. It involved
