LMI OPERATIONS MANUAL FOR RELEASE FOR 3.0 -- ERRATA SHEET This note corrects an omission in the "Lambda Operations Manual for Release 3.0". Revision A of this manual omitted an important step in the software installation. The error was corrected in a subsequent printing which is marked Revision B. Insert this sheet after page 62 and/or make manual corrections to make step 12 agree with the text below. The side-bars mark the added text from the Revision B "Lambda Operations Manual for Release 3.0": ----------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Load the LISP sources. To do this: | * Type at the LISP Listener of each Lambda processor the command: | | (fs:initialize-file-system) | | NOTE: This should be done only once for each processor at the | time of blank-disk installation. Initializing the filesystem | at any other time will destroy all LISP files stored in that | processor's file partition. * Mount the LISP sources tape... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here is an alternative markup which contains more complete information. After step 11, insert the text below for step 12a, and renumber step 12 as step '12b'. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 12a. Initialize each LISP processor's file system. IMPORTANT: This step must only be performed the first time LISP boots using a new file system partition. BE CAREFUL: this command effectively creates a blank file-system; re- initializing an initialized file system that already has files stored will result in the loss of those files. To verify whether this step should be performed, execute in LISP (fs:boot-file-system) If this returns with a message that mentions "Invalid version ... Aborting.", then the file system has not been initialized. If this returns without the "Aborting" message, verify further that the file system has been initialized by executing (listf "lm:~;") If you need to initialize the file system, execute (fs:initialize-file-system) This step must be performed as required for each LISP processor that boots its own file partition (the normal case). -----------------------------------------------------------------
