Eagle 100 Hardware Installation
2.1EAGLE 100 BOOT DRIVE GUIDELINES
If you are installing a new pre-configured
Roadrunner bootable
SCSI drive along with
the Roadrunner hardware upgrade, use the following steps as a guide:
1.You can leave your existing SCSI drive attached to the SCSI bus cable,
but you must change its drive I.D. to something higher than zero (usually
I.D.1) so that it won’t conflict with the new Roadrunner boot drive.
2.After the Roadrunner has been installed and the system rebooted, you
must then create a sub-system driver to access your original drive. The
new driver must be created with the FIXLOG program and the SCZRR.DVR
Roadrunner SCSI port driver.
3.Once the SCSI sub-system driver has been created (and
saved
) it must be
added to the new Roadrunner’s boot INI under the DEVTBL, BITMAP, and
SYSTEM statements.
4.After rebooting the system again, you can mount your original hard drive
using the device driver you just created, and copy any or all of your
application software to the new SCSI boot drive.
Be sure to use the /NOD switch when you copy software to the new boot drive! If
you accidentally over-write the new AMOS Operating System software with your
old O/S software, the system will NOT boot on the Roadrunner!
If you intend you use your existing SCSI hard drive as the main boot drive
, you must
first make sure your AMOS Operating System is version PR5/95 or later
and
has been
overlaid with the current AM-987 software support package!
All you need do is MONGEN the SCZRR.DVR into the new boot monitor prior to the
hardware installation.
No changes are required to your existing boot INI since the system I/O hardware
configuration will remain essentially the same. Your TRMDEF and SCSI Dispatcher
statements do not require any changes.
