Long boot time on RISC System/6000

Long boot time on RISC System/6000

Post by Bjorn Engs » Fri, 02 Nov 1990 18:12:55



We have a 520 with September updates and are experiencing very long boot
times.  It seems like it tries to boot from the diskette, the streamer
the cdrom, the video8, and eventually the harddisk.  We did try using
the bootlist command, but it still tries to access all those devices.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Long boot time on RISC System/6000

This is a shot in the dark:  Make sure that none of your SCSI devices
are set to SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for the SCSI controler.
I once saw a RISC system which had its 1/4" tape drive ID set to 7, and
it spent a LOT of time playing with the CD and tape drive before finishing
booting.  When I went to use the tape, it was not Available.
Do a quick check with "lsdev -C".  Just a guess.
