5.5. Running Diag
Now, you start to work on your target machine, and install
UNJX
from the remote host. The
first step is to format the disk with the diag utility. You boot diag from the network server
with a boot command:
>
b ec(O,hod_number)stand/dias
Remember to replace hOlt_number with the remote host's hexadecimal host number (obtained
earlier). If you have more than one Ethernet Controller Board in your system, and you are
booting from the second, third, etc., replace the "0" in the above command with the controller's
address on the Multibus (in hex).
The monitor 5hould boot diag from the network disk server. When tUag starts up, it displays a
sign on message:
Disk Initialization and Diagnosis
When asked if you are sure, respond with 'y' or 'Y'
Diag first asks you a series of questions about the disk you will be using. The answers to these
questions 'configure' diag to work with that specific hardware. The first thing diag wants to
know is the type of disk controller to U5e. Diag di5plays a menu of the different disk controller
types.
Diag's
second question concerns the address of the controller on the Multibus. The table below
shows the default addresses for disk controllers •.

Next, diag wants to know the unit number of the disk - 0 is usually the correct answer if you
only have one disk, and the type of disk drive you are working with - diag displays a menu of
a • Note that if you have one Xylogics SMD Controller and one Interphase Controller in your
system, you cannot use the default addresses (as the Interphase Controller sees only four bytes).
The Interphase must be configured to be at address 48, and the Xylogics at ee40. See the Hardware
Oonfiguration anti Ezpan,ion chapt.er for board configuration procedures.
