- It has been through the immense help from lots of you here on the net
- that I have actually made this ol' Vax Staion II work. Thanks to you
- all and the guys here at UH who also contributed.
-
- Here's what is currently wrong:
-
- I got the terminal working (just a text terminal on the serial port)
- and with some expert help from our administrator at school got the
- thing up. At the >>> prompt we did b/2 then changed uafalternate to
- 1. Then we changed the system password. From there I did a set host
- 0 and logged out and in lots of times and everything worked fine. I
- even managed to make myself a user account (but didn't give myself
- system privs...). However, the problem arose after I did an "orderly
- shutdown" and then powered off. When I boot it now, my user account
- is fine, but the system login doesn't work. I cannot even go in
- through uafalternate and rekludge it.
-
- So, two questions and you can answer either or both:
-
- How can I get the system account back up and running?
-
- How can I reload VMS from the tape? I do not yet have a manual of any
- kind...
-
- Thanks in advance,
- -dennis
