Instructions to load MSHEAR onto a networked Quanterra system. Joe Steim, Quanterra 1998/10/08 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ the file m4980922.bo.Z is a unix-compressed backout archive. it is the complete distribution archive, and it's about 3.2Mb. you can install it as follows: 1. loading the following programs into memory. you will need these, because they will disappear when the disk is reformatted. load format makdir copy rename del dir list edt attr deldir backin utiltrap load compress 2. formatting the hard disk the following 5 lines only on a 4120. chd /r0 makdir T chd t unsqueeze packed -f -m (a great deal of output ensues) load -d h0fmt.4120 format /h0fmt -c=16 -rv=Q2100 -np -nv (replace Q2100 with whatever disk label you currently have. Type "free" to see disk label before running format). 2.7 chd /h0fmt 3. when complete: ftp the binary decompressed file m4980922.bo to the os9 system's /h0. you may alternatively ftp the ...bo.Z file and decompress it on the os9 system. there is a unix-decompress ("compress -d") program on the os9 system, but it's very slow. 4. chd /h0fmt 5. backin -f ...........m4980922.bo the files should all be installed on the hard disk. 6. chx /h0/cmds 7. if this is a Q680, os9gen /h0fmt -q=os9boot -eb=100k 8. edit /h0/startup to remove the * from the line containing the type of system you have, as explained below. * * select the startup continuation for the appropriate processor type * by removing the "*" comment delimiter. make sure only one startup * file is selected. e.g., for a Q680: * * startup_4120 startup_147 * startup_00 * 9. reboot. the system will come up as a "generic/noether/lv", which will actually work with a Q680 or Q4120. select the appropriate directory from the configuration selection menu, save it, and reboot. happy configuring!
