The ROM is built with the default start address, which is 173000. It appears PROM 50 is the old Maclisp PROM tool, and PROM 555 is a newer version for Lisp machines.

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 <DCP.MINITS.E>.
|
|
|
|
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:<SYSTEM>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:<DCP.MINITS.S>CONFIG.PALX
|
|
|
|
(2) On OZ:
|
|
Connect to <DCP.MINITS.BOOT-PROM>
|
|
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 <DCP.MINITS.BOOT-PROM>.
|
|
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:<dcp.minits.boot-prom>prom")
|
|
(27burn)
|
|
|
|
Answer intelligently and your proms get programmed.
|
|
|
|

|
|
;
|
|
; Wants to start at 3000 (the default I think)
|
|
;
|
|
; This creates two files, e.g. .TEMP.;NE437A B00

; and .TEMP.;NE437A B08
