Onyx startup problem. Segment load failed
Bjorn
I got myself an Onyx. I was told the battery was bad and
I had to go into prom and set time and date to get it to boot.
I don't now how to do that, but I newer got that far.
I set it up with a VT100 emulator on the TTY1 port to
get it up and running. However I got the following error.

Can this be fixed or do I have to buy new parts?
Where is the IO4 PROM located on the IO4 board?
