I would apreciate any help to prepare a boot tape.
The scenario:
A HP9000 series 300 (model 375) w/ 8 MB RAM;
No monitor, i'am using a serial port and a VT100 terminal;
A HP2212A (SCSI Disk 330 MB)
A HP7957B (HP-IB Disk 80 MB)
A HP Tape DAT driver ( HP6400) interface SCSI
I can boot using a tape recovery from HP-UX 8.x and the system looks like ok.
I tried to boot a pc with NETBSD (for i386), conecting to FTP Server and
get the SYS_INST for hp300 (1.3.1) and put it at tape (DAT) using this
command:
dd if=SYS_INST of=/dev/st0 obs=20b conv=osync
But the hp375 didn't recognize the tape or file!
We tried using another HP workstation running HP-UX 8.x , but
conv=osync
doesn't work at HP-UX.
So i ask for any help.
Many thanks
