Multia question

[St. Suika Fenderson Roberts]

Well, I'm quite happy with my Multia, and I have only one real question
left about it:

How do I make it boot on power-up?
She boots quite fine if one sits there and tells her `boot' after she
finishes her self-tests, but I've not been able to get her to autoboot.

I used swriteboot to stick milo on the beginning of her disk, and frobbed
a bunch of SRM variables that seemed promising, but it hasn't helped.

She will finish her tests, turn the floppy drive light on, then complain
about there not being a disk in dva0, which is rather strange since she
won't boot if one has a floppy in the drive anyway . . .

Thanks for any help/comments,
Suika

You may try using the ARC console to boot your system.

Just tried it, and it works wonderfully!

It did indeed!

Thanks,
Suika (who was fairly sure it was a simple fix ^_^ )

On the SRM prompt, type
>>> set auto_action boot

Hope this helps,
