10.1 I’m trying to set up a system to do a AUTOBOOT with START NORECOVERY. I found the AUTOBOOT flag at the ISL prompt and set that to ON. I created a file called autoboot.pub.sys and put "START NORECOVERY" in it, but it does not seem to work. I get the message that the system could not find the file. What am I doing wrong?

Gilles Schipper provided the following procedure:

Log on as MANAGER.SYS, and do as follows:

STEP 1

:EDITOR

/A

1 START NORECOVERY#@

2 //

...

/C "#" TO '13 IN 1 <<changes # to a CR >>

/C "@" TO '10 IN 1 <<changes @ to LF >>

/KEEP AUTOBOOT

/EXIT

STEP 2

:SYSGEN

SY

AAUTO FILE=AUTOBOOT.PUB.SYS TYPE=DISC

HOLD

E

KE

EXIT

STEP 3

Create new slt tape

STEP 4

At ISL prompt,

ISL > AUTOBOOT ON

STEP 5

Boot from SLT and UPDATE CONFIG

You MUST use the UPDATE CONFIG option to complete the task successfully. Failure to do so will not enable you to utilize the AUTOBOOT feature.
