Subject: -20- Why can't I boot one of the stand-alone programs on a
tape or CD?

One reason is that some CPU names are preceded by periods and some
aren't. Another is that the Indigo R4000 and later CPUs use the
suffix 'ARCS', not 'IP20' or whatever as one might expect from
'hinv'. For example, the correct command to boot fx directly from the
PROM monitor on an Indigo R4000 is 'boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit,8)sashARCS
dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.ARCS'. Note the use of 'ARCS' instead of
'IP20' and the missing period in 'sashARCS'.
