Indigo2 cloned system disk won´t boot
|
|
|
Hello,
again I could need some expert´s advice.
Having successfully moved the entire content of a system disk
to a bigger drive - after use of fx, mkfs, dvhtool and the
xfsdump|xfsrestore method - it won´t boot by itself.
It gives the message: Autoboot failed.
Unable to execute scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(0):
execute format error
However,
boot -f dksc(0,1,8)sash dksc(0,1,0)unix root=dks0d1s0
does the trick.
What am I missing eventually?
TIA

Check if there is "bootfile = /unix" entry in the volume header of
that disk
----- bootinfo-----
root partition = 0 swap partition = 1 bootfile = /unix

Thanks, Joerg!
You were right, there was no volume header bootfile entry:
----- bootinfo-----
root partition = 0 swap partition = 1 bootfile =
An easy thing to fix this from the PROM monitor:
setenv OSLoadFilename /unix
