- I'm trying to install the distbin (for starters) from a 1/4" SCSI
- tape on a 486/33 with AMI bios, Opti chipset, 16mb ram, Maxtor 8760S
- disk, and CDC Wren IV 307mb disk. I got the base installation done
- from a floppy into a 300mb partition. When I try to access the
- Archive 2150S tape unit to extract the files, I get an "error 9"
- from cpio. The tape is loaded, and the drive worked just a few
- hours ago (on the same system) when it was running Esix (system V r3).
-
- The scsi drive is id 4, the boot disk is 0, and the cdc disk is 1.
- During the boot, there is an error trying to read the disk label
- from the cdc drive (it is formatted for dos).
-
- Is this reminiscent of any known problems? BTW, this is 0.1 I'm
- using.
-
- Thanks,
- Bill
