Hello!

I've got an old DECstation 5000/120 usually booting with "boot 3/mop -a".
All commands works at the console-mode exept for booting.
Status lights at the back of the unit tells: (O=On)

XXOO XXXO	

"The worksystem software could not be loaded (in slot #3)"

The aui-tp-tranceiver tells me there is link and power and transmits
something when issuing the boot command. The status lights is up short
afterwards.
The mop_mop server is up and I've tried to reload /etc/mop_mom

Test (or sh -vl 3/test) on the client shows nothing wrong. 
Even done thorough at power-on no error is listed.

Is the main board corrupt?
May I be able to fix this situation?

Kjell
