Power-up and Bootstrap
ar: triggerred at idle zz
This message indicates that the standalone I/O system has a bug in its Archive driver.
Auto-boot in progress ...
The monitor has finished its power-on sequence and is looking for a good device to boot
the Unix system from.
Bad device
The current program (possibly the boot program) has tried to open a file without a
device name (eg zy()). This could mean that the boot command you typed had no dev-
ice name.
Bad format
The boot program is trying to boot from a file which is not in a standard
UNIX
d.
out (5)
format. The boot program can only boot files which are in this format, which is gen-
erated by the Id(l) command.

A standalone program (such as the boot program) is trying to read a file from disk or
net disk, and the block number it is trying to read is invalid.
Boot:
The boot program is waiting for you to specify a device and file name to boot from.
The boot program accepts the same commands that the monitor would, without the
initial 'b'. See the section Booting From Specific Device, above.
Boot: dev(ctlr,unit,pdrtjndme option.
The monitor or boot program is preparing to boot the specified file from the specified
device. Either you typed a boot command, or this is an auto-boot after power-on. dev
is the device type; ctlr, unit, and
Pdrt
are the controller, unit-within-controller, and disk
partition number. Name is the name of the file to boot from, if any; option, are argu-
ments for the booted program,
~uch
as
'-~'. If you enter a boot command to the moni-
tor, this message will be printed twice; once by the monitor and once by the boot pro-
gram.
boot failed
The boot program has tried to boot the device and/or file you specified, but could not.
A preceding message should give more details about why.
Boot syntax: b [!][dev(ctlr,unit,part)] name [options)
boot syntax: dev(ctlr,unit,part)name
You have entered
all
invalid boot command. This message describes the general rormat
of the boot command to remind you. The first form is used by the monitor; the second
(without the 'h') is used hy the hoot program. Don't type the brackets; they indicate
optional parts of the command.
Bus Error, addr: zzzzzz at dddddd
The current program has stopped because it tried to make an invalid memory access.
The reason for the error is shown before this message. The memory location being
accessed was zzzzzz, and the instruction which made the access is near location dddddd.
There is no way to recover from this error, in general, except to debug the program.
Can't write files yet ... Sorry
The current program is trying to write to a disk or network disk file thru the stan-
dalone I/O system. Writing on files (as opposed to writing on devices) is not supported
