letters A-F.) This result should also be written down
and reported to your technical service
representative.
Successful Completion Successful completion of
Boot Diagnostics is indicated by the appearance of
the boot icons. Normal system booting can then be
performed.
Cursor Codes
There are two types of cursor codes: progress codes
and error codes. Progress codes are displayed
incrementally at various stages of initialization.
Error codes freeze or blink the error number on
your screen.
All
c~rsor
codes less than 9000 are generated by
non-lisp programs that have been implemented
directly in microcode, or in Mesa, a high-level
programming language used by Xerox. Cl:Jrsor
codes from 9000 to 9999 are generated by an error
in the lisp system code. Only those cursor codes
likely to occur during operation of a work station
running lisp are identified in this document.
Currently, whenever an Interlisp-D system error
occurs, the cursor will be replaced by the
appropriate error code. If this happens when the
cursor is located in a dark area of the screen, such
as the prompt window, the cursor code will not be
visible. Therefore, if you are encounteri ng
repeatable errors that freeze your system, attempt
to keep the cursor in an area of white space on the
display screen. This
will
allow you to read the error
code. This problem is being addressed and should
be eliminated in the near future.
