Octane don't boot. Execute format error

[Jean-Philippe GEY]

Hello,

After a fresh new Irix 6.5 June 1998 installation my Octane don't want
to boot and return this message:
Unable to execute xio(0)....partition(0): execute format error.
Autoboot failed.
I only use Irix 6.5 Installation tools june 1998, Fondation 1 and 2,
Overlays and Applications 6.5.7 february 2000 but not the Applications
Irix 6.5 june 1998 CD (I do not have it).

The fs and mks was done with the command monitor under sash64 from the
Irix 6.5 Installation tools june 1998.

Do you think Applications CD june 1998 is really necessary or do I need
an other Overlays version ?

Thank's a lot for your help

Boot the miniroot again and try to mount the disk and verify that a
/xxxx/unix exits.
After that run fx and check the bootinfo entries. Take an eye to the
bootfile which have to be /unix.

That's right, there is no /unix bootfile. The inst and rqsall were
correct anyway. What could I do ?
Thank's for your help,
