I tried to boot off the Ultrix VAX 4.4 CD but got an error after a while, something like MCHK. Any ideas? Do I need to provide some fancy boot flags? This is onto a VAXserver 3100/95. Regards, Mark.

It could also mean "media check"... -Steve It is an official Ultrix CD - I had no problems reading the bookreader documentation cdrom on my 3000/600 under tru64, however, that doesn't mean an awful lot...
