Ouch -- my brain hurts trying to remember what I knew 10 years ago! 8^)
Your MV/2500 was probably set up to run something called SMI -- System
Management Interface, which would, among other things, automatically invoke
UP.CLI (the startup script) after the OS boots. On a non-SMI system, early
in the boot process there is a question "Would you like to override default
specs?"; I don't remember for sure, but I suspect that with SMI, the
question still pops up but times out quickly and defaults to "no". If you
can answer "Y", you'll then be presented with a bunch of other questions,
one of which should allow you to bypass the startup script.
If you can make it that far, I can help you edit the script. If you're not
using CEO, no need to run it. And if you're not running CEO, then you won't
need to run INFOS either. Once we eliminate those, your system will come up
quicker and run faster.
I trust you've been making good backups of the stuff?
Another thing we can do is run the disk formatter to remap the bad disk
blocks. (Depending on the nature of the hardware problem, that may
eliminate your problem or not.) I can help you with that also, although it
will take wracking my brain a bit more. (I was a DG systems engineer for
many years, but haven't touched an MV in the past few years.)
Good luck,
Tom
