Here's what I've got so far, this is on a 3100 of unknown model,
(How do I tell which model I have anyway?), 1 Gb SCSI-2 disk, (Micropolis
2112 if it matters), and 4 meg of RAM.
1. disklabels don't work. They have no effect.
The bootloader doesn't appear to get installed right either.
2. I occasionally get (about 50% of the time really) the message:
"ptelen fault in system space: addr xxxxxxx pc xxxxxxxx"
and a halt. This mostly happens at random points during
the boot, but it's happened while running twice now.
And that's it... I'm gonna try a different VAX in a second, another 3100
but a different model. I'm gonna use another 2112 (Don't wanna wax
VMS just yet...) and see what happens. The other one has more memory
I think.
Anyone else with a 3100 have any luck?
