Either it has detected unix on the internal disk and refused to run it… 😉 or that’s the “Unexpected Interrupt” error. It means just that, and could be a symptom of more problems than I care to guess at.
Since this is a microvax II, I’d suggest first off that you remove all unnesecarry components, and try booting with only the cpu board. (obviously it won’t boot, but it should get past the self-test)
It the problem is on any other board you’d be able to work it out by process of elemination this way. (remember that qbus is very picky about the order of boards and leaving blank spaces…)

Again, that’s the best way to do it, I’d guess. Clean all the contacts while you’re at it… never hurts.Regards, Christopher Smith
