Has anyone seen this problem?
Installed minimal boot on a non-system disk. Installation went as expected (I've done this a number of times on V7.2X/7.3X systems without issue).
When I went to boot from the "alternate" boot disk, I received the following at the console:
>>>> b -fl e,0 dkb600
>
> System will be reset prior to boot.

Since I am a hobbyist, I can't report this through "formal" channels.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
