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 Smilie

Cheers,
Magnus

NAME
systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed. systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1]. SEE ALSO
systemd(1), systemd.mount(5), systemd.automount(5), systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8), gummiboot(8), fstab(5) NOTES
