- Even in AIX 3.1.5, both the R3 and R4 servers are provided for X Stations.
- You just need to go into smit and create a name for the combination of
- "X Station 120 and bootfile1".
-
- While this works on most X Stations, we do have some X Station 120's which
- will not boot up with R4 (bootfile1), though they work fine with R3 (bootfile).
- Someone here vaguely recalled that this indicates that a hardware upgrade is
- required. Anyone know details?
