Title
After boot recovery, the system complains that /boot is not found.
Keywords
edge BackupEDGE OpenServer OSR5 boot EAFS RecoverEDGE 2
Product Release(s)
01.01.0x
Problem Description
The boot filesystem must be type EAFS
Cause
It is possible that the `/boot` divison is of type HTFS. Such a filesystem cannot be used to boot the system; type EAFS is required. The following error would be observed upon bootup if division 0 of the active parition is HTFS: /boot not found Stage 1 boot failure error loading hd/boot
Solution
To correct the problem, boot up under the recovery diskettes and run `divvy` in Inquire/Update mode. Select option 'c' to create a new boot filesystem (a 'Y' will appear under the New FS column), and then select the 't' option to convert it to type EAFS. Exit divvy and install the division table. Creating a new filesystem will destroy its previous contents, so restore the `/boot` filesystem from tape after changing the filesystem type.
