Could be that the install was done on a MicroVAX 3100 and I tried to boot it in a VAXstation 4000/60. THat should make no difference. If it's a SCSI drive that can be read and written by both systems, it should work with one caveat -- the VMS version on the disk much be able to support the vintage of the VAX upon which the boot is performed. Check this chart for minimum VMS suport for particular VMS supported systems. http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/hw_supportchart.html -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
