I am having trouble booting our 2400T workstation. It was running
fine, and sitting unused for several days. At some point it just
stopped: the console went blank and we couldn't login remotely.
I reset the machine and tried booting again ("b" from the "iris>"
prompt). It starts to boot, gives the "Loading: hd.0:defaultboot"
message, then after a few more lines, the 
"Jumping to loaded program @ 20000400" message, then hangs right there.
I tried to boot off a tape, following the directions in the manual,
but it hung at the same point after seeming to load the tape correctly.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Thanks much,
pete loan
