- Ok, I've had enough and I'm NOT going to take it anymmore !
-
- A few days ago we experienced a temporary power outage due to
- a T-storm rolling through the area. Well lo and behold, when
- it came back, our NeXTcube tried to boot, and got the following:
-
- [stuff left out]
- Waiting for device to come ready
- . . . . . . . . . .
- Load of /etc/mach_init, errno 83, trying /etc/init
- Load of /etc/init failed, errno 83
-
- "Luckily", we have a NeXTstation that I used as a NetBoot server
- (after much help from UMD :), to get the cube back up !!! newfs
- and fsck on the local drive, restored the disk, fskd again, rebooted,
- and guess what ???
-
- [stuff left out]
- Waiting for device to come ready
- . . . . . . . . . .
- Load of /etc/mach_init, errno 83, trying /etc/init
- Load of /etc/init failed, errno 83

- Arrrrggggggg. Would someone please enlighten me what or why or who
- could be causing this error on this Big Black Boat Anchor ????

- Thanks !
