  • Can't SYSGEN in LS-DOS or LDOS

    When I try to use

    SYSGEN (YES)

    I get a message that the configuration was created but then a message

    File not in directory

    and CONFIG/SYS is not created. How can I create CONFIG/SYS?

    Correct syntax is

    SYSGEN (ON/OFF, DRIVE=n)

    where ON creates CONFIG/SYS, OFF removes it, and n is the drive number (default=0)

    So try SYSGEN (ON) and see what happens

    It turns out there's something wrong with drive 0. It reads perfectly but won't write. It doesn't cause an error, it just won't write. I usually don't write to drive 0 so I didn't notice a problem until I tried SYSGEN on it.
