Re: xp handlers in 2.8bsd applied to rm02 disks.
Note that RM02 disks place 025 in RMDT, hence the patching suggested on
page 6 will be necessary as the xp driver chokes otherwise. I guess
this is more a documentation weakness than a bug since a very careful
reading and/or experience might make you recognize the boot failure as
due to this.
The problem is that the xp driver assumes that a disk with drive type 025 is
an Emulex SC-21V/300 Mb rather than an RM02. There are two files which must
be changed. The raw document is doc/kernel.ms.
diff doc/kernel.ms.old doc/kernel.ms:
257c257
< 024 RM03 32/5
---
> 024 RM02/RM03 32/5
The nroffed document is located in kernel/src/cmd/standalone/tapes/instructions.
diff instructions.old instructions:
304c304
< 024 RM03 32/5
---
> 024 RM02/RM03 32/5
This change should be applied to all tapes made before 9/28/81.
