I know that this thread is over two years old and has probably been
forgotten. I came across it when searching Google for the same
problem that Hasan had. I imagine that others have done the same. I
found the cause of the problem to be an incorrectly configured NULL
device. The CPRS uses the null device in its operation, the error
being thrown when it was trying to be initialized. Following step 97
of the HardHats instruction (http://www.hardhats.org/projects/
VistA_Install/Vista_Install.html), I configured the NULL device and
that removed the error. The instructions for the NULL device is also
below.
Select DEVICE NAME: NULL
1 NULL NT SYSTEM NALO:
2 NULL-DSM Bit Bucket _NLA0:
CHOOSE 1-2: 1 NULL NT SYSTEM NALO:
NAME: NULL//
LOCATION OF TERMINAL: NT SYSTEM//
Select MNEMONIC:
LOCAL SYNONYM:
$I: NALO:// //./nul
VOLUME SET(CPU):
SIGN-ON/SYSTEM DEVICE: YES// N NO
TYPE: TERMINAL//
SUBTYPE: C-VT100// ^

Rather than doing things the hard way, perhaps you should consider posting
some questions on Hardhats, not just answers. No one person can begin to know
all about VistA and Hardhats is here to help.
The site you reference describes the device setup for Cache only. There are 4
key devices that need to be set up right away as mentioned in the document,
but the setup is not the same for GT.M as it is for Cache on Windows,
obviously.
They are the NULL, CONSOLE, TELNET and HFS devices. Here are sample devices
for GT.M. In addition, making sure that calling the device only gives one
choice for the programs being run helps things go smoothly. That can be done
by renaming devices that come up an a Fileman inquire until only the device
you want to be used is presented.
