As mentioned in one of my pervious threads, I have disconnected a wide 25-pin whole grey/bluish ribbon (I though I disconnected the hard disk) but when powered “ON” the machine, it booted and went all the way to CDE asking for “login ID”.

There was another ribbon (white and narrow) looks a bit complicated and I was not sure for touching that, therefore I sent you a mail describing both ribbons and was looking to receive some advise on them.

Really, I do not know who is a Hardware Engineer as such on the Forum. But I am hoping one day someone to send me a clear instruction to resolve this.

Regards,

M.H
Hi Awadhesh

I have disconnected the hard disk by pulling out, this time the white narrow ribbon. It was interesting, because it could not find a bootable device. It did not go to the MA> prompt as you suspected/suggested, but it came up with the menu below:

... Main Menu........................
Command
-------------
BOot [PRI | ALT | <path>]
PAth [PRI | ALT | CON | KEY] [<path>]
SEArch [DISPLAY | IPL]
Help .....................
Main menu: Enter command >

I then entered the following command:

Main menu: Enter command > BO
Interact with ILP: (Y, N, Q) Y

Booting ............
Cannot find ENTRY_TEST
Failed to initialise

It looked for the Primary Boot Path, which is FWSCSI.5.0 and the Alternative Boot Path, which FWSCSI.6.0, Obviously, could not find the correct Path and I got the error message “Failed to initialise “and the Main Menu appeared again like one below

... Main Menu........................
Command
-------------
BOot [PRI | ALT | <path>]
PAth [PRI | ALT | CON | KEY] [<path>]
SEArch [DISPLAY | IPL]
Help .....................
Main menu: Enter command >

Having gotten the error message, when I reconnected the white ribbon (hard disc) and turned the power on, it booted with no problem and went all the way to CDE.

I would like to add that, you get the “Main Menu” by pressing the “Esc” key” if you wish to interrupt the Boot Process and as you are aware, I am not able to interrupt the Boot Process when I hit the “Esc” key soon after powering up.

With the information that I have now provided, is there something else that we can try to resolve this?

Once again, many thanks for your time

M.H
