At the >> prompt I entered the command
setenv bootpath "rz(0,3,0)vmunix -a"
but it didn't work and gave me the message
can't open rz(0,3,0)vmunix -a
enter imagename:
I then tried the command leaving off the -a
setenv bootpath "rz(0,3,0)vmunix"
the boot command at the >> prompt started to work an got to the following
point before having trouble
ln0 at ibus0
ln0: DEC LANCE Ethernet Interface,
hardware address : 08:00:2b:0e:f7:86
erase ^? , kill ^u, intr ^c

control ?, control u and control c didn't seem to do anything and I finally
keyed in control d (^d) just to do something and things started up again.

This is were things sit now.
At one point I got the following messages:
battery backup clock not valid
warning: lost battery backup clock check at reset time
I was not able to duplicate this event but during subsequent attempts to boot
but I always seemed get a time of 10:34 displayed even though it was close to
14:00. I don't know if this has any bearing on the boot difficulties but
thought I should let you know just in case.
Let me know if the is something more you want me to try.
