Aucbvax.2775 NET.2bsd-bugs utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!RAM@MIT-MC Fri Aug 21 14:15:33 1981

From: Robert A. Morris <RAM MIT-MC AT> 1. Please add me to the list.

2. Re: xp handlers in 8.2bsd applied to rm02 disks. Note that RM02 disks place 025 in RMDT, hence the patching suggested on page 6 will be necessary as the xp driver chokes otherwise. I guess this is more a documentation weakness than a bug since a very careful reading and/or experience might make you recognize the boot failure as due to this.

3. Are there any known bugs in the distribution of the RL drivers. Both when I try to boot rlunix from the standalone or when i touch my RL01 from a running xpunix, system panics. Does it correctly distinguish RL01 from RL02 (driver code sure looks ok to me)?
