Boot interaction
Hi Corrail,
Many thanks for your suggestion and your interest in my problem.
Having read what you recommended, I pulled out the casing, which holds hard disk, cdrom and floppy drive (front panel) and I seen tow ribbons one a grey (bluish) colour wide with two rows of 25 hols at one end with a little tag saying “single ended scsi - drive” connected to the disk drive and the end way saying “single ended scsi - disk interface board”.
I pulled this ribbon off and powered up the machine and to my surprise kernel was loaded as usual CDE appeared and ready to login. On this ribbon was written:
LL31941 CSA AWM I A 105C 300V FT-1
The second ribbon, a narrow one and whit colour and written on it:
20297 CSA AWM I A 105C 150 FT-1 SPECTRA-STRIP FAST 20/40 -SCSI RL AWM STYLE.
I don not know how to locate the IDE cable, but will I be looking in the motherboard tomorrow as it's now half past one in the morning at my neck of wood.
Please if you can shed some light as to how I can locate this “IDE” cable and furthermore by disconnecting this cable, would I be able to power up this machine and get to the MA> prompt as was suggest by our friend Awadhesh?
Once again many thanks for your time and all others who will be showing an interest.

auvirt
AUVIRT(8) System Administration Utilities AUVIRT(8)
NAME
auvirt - a program that shows data related to virtual machines
SYNOPSIS
auvirt [ OPTIONS ]
DESCRIPTION
auvirt shows a list of guest sessions found in the audit logs. If a guest is specified, only the events related to that guest is consid-
ered. To specify a guest, both UUID or VM name can be given.
For each guest session the tool prints a record with the domain name, the user that started the guest, the time when the guest was started
and the time when the guest was stoped.
If the option "--all-events" is given a more detailed output is shown. In this mode other records are shown for guest's stops, resource
assignments, host shutdowns and AVC and anomaly events. The first field indicates the event type and can have the following values: start,
stop, res, avc, anom and down (for host shutdowns).
Resource assignments have the additional fields: resource type, reason and resource. And AVC records have the following additional fields:
operation, result, command and target.
By default, auvirt reads records from the system audit log file. But --stdin and --file options can be specified to change this behavior.
OPTIONS
--all-events
Show records for all virtualization related events.
--debug
Print debug messages to standard output.
-f, --file file
Read records from the given file instead from the system audit log file.
-h, --help
Print help message and exit.
--proof
Add after each event a line containing all the identifiers of the audit records used to calculate the event. Each identifier con-
sists of unix time, milliseconds and serial number.
--show-uuid
Add the guest's UUID to each record.
--stdin
Read records from the standard input instead from the system audit log file. This option cannot be specified with --file.
--summary
Print a summary with information about the events found. The summary contains the considered range of time, the number of guest
starts and stops, the number of resource assignments, the number of AVC and anomaly events, the number of host shutdowns and the
number of failed operations.
-te, --end [end-date] [end-time]
Search for events with time stamps equal to or before the given end time. The format of end time depends on your locale. If the date
is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted, now is assumed. Use 24 hour clock time rather than AM or PM to specify time.
An example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is 09/03/2009. An example of time is 18:00:00. The date format accepted is influenced by
the LC_TIME environmental variable.
You may also use the word: now, recent, today, yesterday, this-week, week-ago, this-month, this-year. Today means starting now.
Recent is 10 minutes ago. Yesterday is 1 second after midnight the previous day. This-week means starting 1 second after midnight
on day 0 of the week determined by your locale (see localtime). This-month means 1 second after midnight on day 1 of the month.
This-year means the 1 second after midnight on the first day of the first month.
-ts, --start [start-date] [start-time]
Search for events with time stamps equal to or after the given end time. The format of end time depends on your locale. If the date
is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted, midnight is assumed. Use 24 hour clock time rather than AM or PM to specify
time. An example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is 09/03/2009. An example of time is 18:00:00. The date format accepted is influ-
enced by the LC_TIME environmental variable.
You may also use the word: now, recent, today, yesterday, this-week, this-month, this-year. Today means starting at 1 second after
midnight. Recent is 10 minutes ago. Yesterday is 1 second after midnight the previous day. This-week means starting 1 second after
midnight on day 0 of the week determined by your locale (see localtime). This-month means 1 second after midnight on day 1 of the
month. This-year means the 1 second after midnight on the first day of the first month.
-u, --uuid UUID
Only show events related to the guest with the given UUID.
-v, --vm name
Only show events related to the guest with the given name.
EXAMPLES
To see all the records in this month for a guest
auvirt --start this-month --vm GuestVmName --all-events
