I can't be certain here (I've yet to receive 10.3 on cartridge (HP
please note: I told Apollo that I'd ceased installing the OS from
floppy & mag tape quite some time ago... ;-( ), but I'm pretty sure
that the config file that it's talking about is /etc/sys.conf.  This
is the file that lists the libraries that should be loaded at
boot-time.  From the status code (name not found), I would guess that
the file doesn't exist.  Try booting the machine diskless, mounting
the disk and checking for it's existence.  If it ain't there, try
copying a new one either out of the AA, or off the 10k (I don't have a
10k (too poor ;-( ) - so I'm not sure whether the sys.conf files will
be identical).

Hope I've obliged you ;-)

I didn't do it, I wouldn't dare; I didn't want it, I wasn't there.
