Notes on making new ethernet proms for MINITS boxes. This file is for making boot proms ONLY. The creation of boot-proms using BOOTIL is independant of the creation of new downloads in . If you are changing network addresses then you better also change the file on the boot hosts that associates pdp-11 addresses with what to download into them. For the AI Lab these files are: OZ:PS:11LOAD.FILES REAGAN:>PDP-11>11LOAD.FILES ZERMATT:>PDP-11>11LOAD.FILES If you are changing network addresses you also should edit the namespace objects of the hosts involved. You might also check to see if your actions impact safe sites. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; NEED 2 2716's (Intel) per machine. (1) Frob MINITS sources as need be, see the file MINITS.TEXT. Typically you edit OZ:CONFIG.PALX (2) On OZ: Connect to PALX BOOTIL It needs Vector, CSR and Chaos Addresses for the Chaos/Ether card(s). You must already have assigned these when you edited CONFIG.PALX on OZ (Usually use default vec and csr). Answer all the questions intelligently. This writes BOOTIL.BIN in . You may wish to rename it if you are doing multiple machines at once. It is only needed for step (3) below. (3) On a Lisp Machine with a prom programmer attached and the prom-programmer facility enabled. (load "oz:ps:prom") (27burn) Answer intelligently and your proms get programmed. More info on prom programming is in SYS:FACILITIES;PROMP.DOC ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Following is old way using MX ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; ;(2) ON MX ; :PALX KTV;BOOTIL > ; ; It needs Vector, CSR and Chaos Addresses for the Chaos/Ether card(s). ; You must already have assigned these when you edited CONFIG.PALX ; on OZ (Usually use default vec and csr). ; ; BIN in HSNAME ; ; Ram starts at 156000 (requires 1000) ; ; N.B., If you are doing more than one host, you cannot do this ; step n times because output always goes into BOOTIL BIN. ; ;(3) On MX ; :LISP ; (LOAD "DCP;PROM") ; (27BURN-PALX-BIN-FILE ) ; e.g., "DCP;BOOTIL BIN" ; e.g., ".TEMP.;NE437A" ; ; Wants to start at 3000 (the default I think) ; ; This creates two files, e.g. .TEMP.;NE437A B00 ; and .TEMP.;NE437A B08 ; ;Now read pig:[taft]promp.doc to learn how to use the prom programmer ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
