7.2.1 Booting the LFU from the console RRD42
This is the simplest method, but is restricted to DEC 7000/10000s as (normally) only these
have RRD42s. As the "Alpha AXP Systems Firmware Update CD" has code for all Alpha
systems on it, you have to specify the bootfile.
1. Load the Update CD into the console RRD42
2. At DEC 7000 >>> boot -flag 0,80 dkxn.n.n.n.n
do >>> show device kzmsa* to find device name
3. After the initial bootstrap has loaded, you are asked for the Bootfile
4. Bootfile: [DEC7000]AXP7000_Vnn.EXE
nn = version number. There is a separate [DEC10000]AXP10000_Vnn.EXE file
For V2.5 and earlier the file has a .APB extension
5. The LFU banner and menu appears
7.2.2 Booting the LFU from a local disk
The AXP LFU can be booted from a local disk on a DEC 7000, assuming it’s running Open-
VMS AXP, like this:
1. With the system up, copy AXP7000_Vnn.EXE to SYS$SYSTEM
2. Shut down the system and boot from the system disk with boot flags 0,80
3. At the Bootfile: prompt, type AXP7000_Vnn.EXE
4. The LFU banner and menu appears
The VAX LFU can be booted from a local disk on a VAX 7000, like this:
1. With the system up, choose the local disk. Do not use the system, or any other currently
bootable disk, as the pointer to VMB will be lost.
2. Copy VAX7000_Vnn.EXE to DISK:[DIR] (your chosen disk and directory)
3. Use Writeboot to write the boot block to point to the LFU file:
$ MC Writeboot
Target system device (and boot file if not VMB.EXE): DISK:[DIR]VAX7000_Vnn.EXE
Enter VBN of boot file code (default is 1): (take default)
Enter load address of primary bootstrap in HEX (default is 200: (take default)
4. Shut down the system
5. Boot your chosen disk:
boot -flags 0,0,0 DISK (EG: DUA2.0.0.4.0)
6. The LFU banner and menu appears
