When trying to boot openvms 8.3 from CD on a alphaserver 1200 from the SRM console I get this output, nothing else happens.

What to do? Help is appreciated.
Now that's odd, it's officially supported .. no other output?

Exception taken before exception handler has been loaded!, Yup, I'm pretty sure you've got a wonky card or cable. – Tim Post – 2011-09-17T17:11:49.120@enzotib I initially thought the same thing. Then I started an argument in my head to the tune of "Is VMS unix-like enough to qualify here?", then I gave up and had a beer with Reddit. VMS (open or not) is a time sharing OS with a vmm, which could also describe multics, which would probably be welcomed here if someone got it up and running. Good question for meta, I suppose. – Tim Post – 2011-09-17T18:48:50.473
