- I *WAS* constructive. I pointed out which set of manuals he needs to look at,
- I pointed out that he needed to use AUTOGEN, and I pointed out that he's
- completely incompetent at this sort of work. What more could you ask? Given
- that he's been posting for two months and *STILL* doesn't seem to realize that
- when you've got a set of settable parameters, that means that they need to be
- set differently for different situations, and you've got to specify what you
- want to accomplish before anybody can recommend settings for them, he just
- doesn't have the right attitude to be a system manager. Of course, I could've
- told him:
- 1) Do a conversational boot;
- 2) At the SYSBOOT> prompt, issue the commands:
- SYSBOOT>SET/DEFAULT
- SYSBOOT>CONTINUE
- After all, the SET/DEFAULT command to SYSBOOT is expressly for the purpose of
- letting someone boot an unidentified system with unidentified needs (which, as
- it happens, is exactly the problem Sabry presented to us, now wasn't it?); The
- resultant settings will generally be useless, of course, but they're guaranteed
- by DEC to succeed in booting *ANY* supported system.
