Hi folks,
I tried to install a 16-port Async. adapter on a RS/6000 Model 595 but when
I wanted to install
the device driver "devices.mca.edd6" using SMIT, the following error
messages appeared:
0301-153 bosboot: /unix not found.
Installation or updating script is unable to continue.
0503-407 installp: An error occurred during boosboot processing.
Please correct the problem and rerun installp.
So, I went to check /unix which is actually linked to
/usr/lib/boot/unix_up. As far as I know this
is the kernel file and to my amazement, the /usr/lib/boot/unix_up is zero
in size! (See below)
How could this be?
# pwd
/
# ls -al unix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 21 Mar 3 1997 unix ->
/usr/lib/boot/unix_up
# cd /usr/lib/boot
# pwd
/usr/lib/boot
# ls -al unix_up
---x--x--x 1 root system 0 Jul 7 1997 unix_up
At first, I thought it has something to do with the permission bits so I
chmod 777 unix_up and
tried again but I still got the same error message as above.
I would really appreciate it if someone could explain what's happening to
my system and how
do I go about solving this?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure how it happend. But to fix it, I would boot off your mksysb
(hopefully you have this) and retore the unix_up or unix_mp file off
the tape.
