I have an old DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP (aka DECpc AXP 150, the Jensen), and I can't install WinNT 4.0 on it! The install process crashes with an INACESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error code 7B when booting the kernel. Another problem I have is getting a 3Com 579 EISA ethernet adapter supported by the firmware. System: 21064 150Mhz 128MB RAM Adaptec 1742B EISA SCSI Compaq EISA VGA Quantum Empire SCSI HD Pioneer 24x SCSI CD-ROM Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If this system was VMS and going to NT there is a setting that must be changed on an Alpha at the SRM ( >>>). For a Model 4/200 the command is 'set os_type nt'. Don't know but maybe this is the problem. Maybe not. teri smith Nick Hone wrote in message ... >I have an old DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP (aka DECpc AXP 150, the Jensen), and I >can't install WinNT 4.0 on it!

It boots into the ARC part of the firmware, so this has been done.
