hi there, thanks 4 yr advice. i'll try to locate the cd if there's any. at the meantime, i tried some things which i din know what the function was.
i tried "stop-a" after memory initialization and found out more abt my computer. 1st of all i know that there are 2 IBM SCSI hard drives. after that, i tried the command "boot disk1" then a slew of warnings came. when the warnings stopped, a message came out "' type go to resume"
realising that there was nothing else i could do, i followed the instruction & typed go. this time, the computer restarted and then the same thing happened again. it was stuck at the same place again "starting rpc services : rpcbind keyserv ypbind done."
i hope i don't sound silly here as i'm trying to provide as much details as possible. i hope more helps will be coming in as i'm really desperate for them.
best regards,

rc.news
RC.NEWS(8) InterNetNews Documentation RC.NEWS(8)
NAME
rc.news - Start or stop INN daemons
SYNOPSIS
rc.news [start | stop]
DESCRIPTION
rc.news can be used to start or stop innd and supporting programs. It checks to make sure INN is not already running, handles cases of
unclean shutdown, finishes up tasks which might have been interrupted by the preceding shutdown, e-mails certain boot-time warnings to
newsmaster (as set in inn.conf), and is generally safer and easier than starting and stopping everything directly. It needs to be run as
the news user so that files in pathrun are created with the right ownership (though this is less important for "rc.news stop").
Programs run and stopped by this script include:
o Always: innd is started or stopped.
o If doinnwatch is true in inn.conf: innwatch is started and stopped.
o If docnfsstat is true in inn.conf: cnfsstat is started and stopped.
o If ovmethod is set to "ovdb" in inn.conf: ovdb_init is run; ovdb_server and ovdb_monitor are stopped.
o If rc.news.local exists in pathbin: rc.news.local is run with argument "start" or "stop" (to perform site-specific startup or shutdown
tasks).
OPTIONS
"start"
If the first argument is "start", or no first argument is given, rc.news initiates INN startup.
"stop"
If the first argument is "stop", rc.news initiates INN shutdown. It is recommended to throttle the server first as described in
ctlinnd(8).
EXAMPLES
To start INN and leave certain error messages going to the terminal:
su - news -c <pathbin in inn.conf>/rc.news
To run INN at startup time from appropriate system boot scripts:
su - news -c <pathbin>/rc.news >/dev/console
To stop INN (throttling first):
<pathbin>/ctlinnd throttle reason
su - news -c '<pathbin>/rc.news stop'
BUGS
Running "rc.news start" as root is never the right thing to do, so we should at minimum check for this and error, or perhaps change
effective user ID.
