Page C-3Roadrunner Software Configuration
If your disk drive is not running an AMOS 1.4C or 2.2C (or later) software release, you
will need to update your operating system. It is highly recommended that you update
your operating system before you install the Roadrunner hardware. Load the
Roadrunner compatible operating system and corresponding hardware support tape
onto your computer’s hard disk drive, following the instructions in the AMOS release
notes supplied with the software. Once the software is loaded, you’ll need to:
Use the MONGEN program to load your boot device driver into the new monitor;
SCZDVR.DVR is the driver used for a SCSI drive.
If you are using a DAT drive, you must log into the DVR: account and type:
COPY DAT.DVR=647DVR.DVR
RETURN
If you are using an AM-625, AM-626, AM-627, or AM-628 Tandberg tape drive,
you must log into the DVR: account and type:
COPY STR.DVR=625DVR.DVR
RETURN
If you are using an AM-645 Exabyte tape drive, you must log into the DVR:
account and type:
COPY MTX.DVR=645DVR.DVR
RETURN
Once you execute the above copy command, the AM-645 tape drive will not be
operational until you install the Roadrunner hardware. Also, unlike the previous
AM-645 driver, 645DVR.DVR is not SSD protected.
After the software has been configured, make sure your computer is fully functional.
Reboot the computer and do a complete check of all the hardware on your
computer—e.g., printers, magnetic tape drives, network hardware (if applicable), etc.
After you are satisfied all the hardware is working properly with the new operating
system, you must configure the AMOS monitor to be compatible with the Roadrunner
hardware as described in the next section.
Using SCZDVR.DVR as described above will allow your computer to boot using the
SASI port on your AM-167 or AM-177 board. If you are going to use the high
performance SCSI port on the Roadrunner board, you will need to follow the instructions
in the next section, which describe the use of SCZRR.DVR. This is the driver used by
MONGEN to make a bootable monitor for a SCSI drive connected to the Roadrunner
board.
