I would like to write a boot tape for our MicroVax 3600 which has a TK70
device and is running Ultrix 3.1, could someone tell me how, please.

The following suggestion was posted on the net sometime ago,

>dd if=/vmb.exe of=/dev/rmt0h obs=512                  # write vmb
>mt rewind                                             # just to be sure
>mt fsf 1                                              # skip over vmb
>dd if=/usr/sys/SAS.net/vmunix of=/dev/rmt0h obs=512   # write generic Ultrix
>
>then boot from the tape with the b mua0

I saved it, tried it recently and it doesn't work. I get an error when booting

> b mua0
(BOOT/R5:0 MUA0)
2..
-MUA0
  1..0..
%BOOT-F-Unknown processor 

Booting from the Ultrix 3.0 standalone tape does work.

Thanks in advance,
