Trying an image for another machine on the 9883.21005 ND-110 Satellite machine.

Image

The image I used is this

ND110-satellite-9883-21251-132MB.raw

I believe the image came from the 9883.21251 machine.

Hard drive

I use an old Seagate ST31200N hard drive, it has 1050 Megabytes capacity.

Preparing the drive

I changed SCSI id to 0 (zero) on the drive.

I cleared the first 200 Megabyte of it like so

root@music1# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=1M count=200
200+0 records in
200+0 records out
209715200 bytes transferred in 68.198596 secs (3075066 bytes/sec)

copy image

root@music1# dd if=/home/tingo/work/ND110-satellite-9883-21251-132MB.raw of=/dev/da0 bs=1M
126+1 records in
126+1 records out
132415488 bytes transferred in 49.011413 secs (2701728 bytes/sec)

verify that the image was copied correctly

I used ndfs for that

root@music1# ndfs -i /dev/da0
Directory name            : PACK-ONE
Object file index pointer : 30716 SI: 0x1 (indexed)
User file index pointer   : 30718 SI: 0x1 (indexed)
Bit file pointer          : 30510 SI: 0x0 (contiguous)
No. of unreserved pages   : 616
Directory size: 60817 pages
Bit file size : 4 pages

Does it boot?

I connected the hard drive to the ND-110, powered on, did

Error while starting
MACL

and pressed START button. A while later I got this error message

***** FATAL ERROR: DISC TRANSFER ERROR IN SEGMENT HANDLING. *****
HARDW.DEV.NO.: 144300 T REGISTER: 42 STATUS: 11020

No, it doesn't work.

Install over image

I tried to install SINTRAN III M05 over an existing (SINTRAN III) image on the hard drive, in case that worked better. Unfortunately, the machine still shows an error when I try to boot.

History

2016-09-07
I did another image test, I wrote the image to the ST31200N drive that I have changed to use 1024 byte blocks. But I still get the same error as my initial test (the 2017-07-17 entry).

trying to install SINTRAN III M05 over an existing image. The idea is that the existing image will have a correct disc setup that the machine will be able to handle. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
