Make sure AutoBoot is set to TRUE in your EEPROM Settings.

Subject: [foxboro] P81 Boot problem

Dear all,
First a note of thanks for all those who helped me with the e-mailing of
system messages from my Unix system - much appreciated! All resolved and
she's working a treat!

A new one:=20

I have a P81 machine which, for reasons I really can't figure out, stops
dead at the Forth toolkit prompt, it needs a " boot disk" command to get
it to carry on.

Once that is done - all appears well until the next reboot, when we get
stuck at the prompt again.

This happened once before on an old AW51B box, but I did not pay it much
attention since it was on a hot spares cabinet in the technical workshop
and it is now "advantage upgraded".

Is this an EPROM issue, a problem with the software on the hard disk or
is it a hardware problem. Advice I received is to purchase a new machine
and this is, to my mind, NOT a satisfactory solution.

Hope to hear from others with a similar experience?

Take care,
