Cannot boot Tru64
Hi,
I just got an AlphaServer DS10 in my lap with a note 'Fix it !'. It's just that I'm not very good with unix.
Anyways, it seems like the osf_boot file is missing from root. I can boot the server in singel user mode with the Tru64 5.1 cd and from there open a console window. When I checked the root directory there is no osf_boot file.
I read somewhere that it is possible to copy the osf_boot file from the cd to the root directory, but I just don't know how.
I hope someone can help
Cheers,
Magnus

systemd-volatile-root.service
SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8) systemd-volatile-root.service SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)
NAME
systemd-volatile-root.service, systemd-volatile-root - Make the root file system volatile
SYNOPSIS
systemd-volatile-root.service
/lib/systemd/systemd-volatile-root
DESCRIPTION
systemd-volatile-root.service is a service that replaces the root directory with a volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), mounting the
original (non-volatile) /usr inside it read-only. This way, vendor data from /usr is available as usual, but all configuration data in
/etc, all state data in /var and all other resources stored directly under the root directory are reset on boot and lost at shutdown,
enabling fully stateless systems.
This service is only enabled if full volatile mode is selected, for example by specifying "systemd.volatile=yes" on the kernel command
line. This service runs only in the initial RAM disk ("initrd"), before the system transitions to the host's root directory. Note that this
service is not used if "systemd.volatile=state" is used, as in that mode the root directory is non-volatile.
