AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0137 12-20-85
AST 5251/11 EMULATION SOFTWARE VERSION 2.0
AND THE KERNEL COMMAND
When using AST-5251/11 Emulation Software Version 2.0, the manual
describes that when issuing the KERNEL command, information about
reading switches is displayed. The software does not read the
switch settings off the twinax adapter board, when issuing the
standard "KERNEL" command. The only way to get information about
the switches displayed, is to enter an optional command-line
parameter, when issuing the "KERNEL" command. (e.g. KERNEL
/IRQ=n).
However, it is suggested that when making changes in the
configuration, the changes are made in the configuration file
only, not on the command-line.
The reason for this suggestion is that changes made in the
configuration file will not be enabled because the software will
not read the configuration file upon issuance of KERNEL.
