I have a 750 running 4.1bsd. When I boot my 750 from a RM03, the boot flags don't get set up right. On a 780 the flags are kept in r11 and in a 750 they are in r5 (what is the reason for this discrepancy?), so the ??boot copies r5 into r11 before loading in and running /boot. This seems to work fine for rkboot and upboot, but somehow they get lost in hpboot. I looked at the source code and it seems to be ok, it just doesn't work. If I type: >>>D/G B 3 >>>B/0 it finds the "3" and uses it as a boot flag. I don't know enough Vax assembly language to track this down, and don't care to learn. Does anyone know what is causing this? -------
