Page C-3Roadrunner Software Configuration
If your disk drive is running an operating system earlier than AMOS 1.4C PR5/95 or
2.2C PR5/95, you will need to update your operating system. You must update your
operating system before you install the Roadrunner hardware. Load the new
operating system, then overlay the Product Support Software Kit designed for the
Roadrunner 040 upgrade.
C.3.1Booting from the Main CPU SASI Port
Remember, if you’re system has been modified for the AM-540 board, then you must
setup you’re system disk to boot from the new Roadrunner’s SCSI port as explained in
the next section.
To configure a SASI/SCSI-1 drive to boot from the CPU SASI port:
Use the MONGEN program to load your boot device driver into the new monitor;
SCZDVR.DVR is the driver used for a SCSI drive on the SASI port.
If you are using a DAT drive, you must log into the DVR: account and type:
COPY DAT.DVR=647DVR.DVR
RETURN
If you are using an AM-625, AM-626 or AM-627 Tandberg tape drive, you must
log into the DVR: account and type:
COPY STR.DVR=625DVR.DVR
RETURN
If you are using an AM-645 Exabyte tape drive, you must log into the DVR:
account and type:
COPY MTX.DVR=645DVR.DVR
RETURN
Once you execute the above copy command, the AM-645 tape drive will not be
operational until you install the Roadrunner hardware. Also, unlike the previous
AM-645 driver, 645DVR.DVR is not SSD protected.
After the software has been configured, make sure your computer is fully functional.
Reboot the computer and do a complete check of all the hardware on your
computer—e.g., printers, magnetic tape drives, network hardware (if applicable), etc.
After you are satisfied all the hardware is working properly with the new operating
system, you must configure the AMOS monitor to be compatible with the Roadrunner
hardware as described in the next section.
Using SCZDVR.DVR as described above will allow your computer to boot using the
SASI port on your main CPU board. If you are going to use the high performance SCSI
port on the Roadrunner, you will need to follow the instructions in the next section,
which describe the use of SCZRR.DVR. This is the driver used by MONGEN to make a
bootable monitor for a SCSI drive connected to the Roadrunner.
