Dear DEC Managers,

My DECstation 3100 crashed and wouldn't boot. Ultrix V2.x, very old version.
I recycled the power and enter at the prompt:
>> auto dr
autoboot:waiting to load rz (0,0,0) vmunix... loading

after a while, it came back with message:
badsetup

>>

Is the disk toasted?  Please help me.

Thanks, Aline...
