1.6 Transient Commands CP/M Operating System Manual Similar to other transient commands, editing can take place on a drive different from the currently logged disk by preceding the source filename by a drive name. The following are examples of valid edit requests: ED A:X.ASMEdits the file X ASM on drive A, with new file and back-up on drive A. ED B:X.ASM A:Edits the file X.ASM on drive B to the temporary file X.$$$ on drive A. After editing, this command changes X.ASM on drive B to X.BAK and changes X.$$$ on drive A to X.ASM 1.6.6 SYSGEN Command Syntax: SYSGEN The SYSGEN transient command allows generation of an initialized disk containing the CP/M operating system. The SYSGEN program prompts the console for commands by interacting as shown. SYSGEN SYSGEN VERSION x.x SOURCE DRIVE NAME (OR RETURN TO SKIP) Initiates the SYSGEN program. SYSGEN sign-on message. Respond with the drive name (one of the letters A, B, C, or D) of the disk containing a CP/M system, usually A. If a copy of CP/M already exists in memory due to a MOVCPM command, press only a carriage return. Typing a drive name d causes the response: SOURCE ON d THEN TYPE RETURN Place a disk containing the CP/M operating system on drive d (d is one of A, B, C, or D). Answer by pressing a carriage return when ready. 1-37
1.6 Transient Commands CP/M Operating System Manual FUNCTION COMPLETE System is copied to memory. SYSGEN then prompts with the following: DESTINATION DRIVE NAME (OR RETURN TO REBOOT) DESTINATION ON d THEN TYPE RETURN FUNCTION COMPLETE If a disk is being initialized, place the new disk into a drive and answer with the drive name. Otherwise, press a carriage return and the system reboots from drive A. Typing drive name d causes SYSGEN to prompt with the following message: Place new disk into drive d; press return when ready. New disk is initialized in drive d. The DESTINATION prompt is repeated until a single carriage return is pressed at the console, so that more than one disk can be initialized. Upon completion of a successful system generation, the new disk contains the operating system, and only the built-in commands are available. An IBM-compatible disk appears to CP/M as a disk with an empty directory; therefore, the operator must copy the appropriate COM files from an existing CP/M disk to the newly constructed disk using the PIP transient. You can copy all files from an existing disk by typing the following PIP command: PIP B:=A:*.*[v] This command copies all files from disk drive A to disk drive B and verifies that each file has been copied correctly. The name of each file is displayed at the console as the copy operation proceeds. Note that a SYSGEN does not destroy the files that already exist on a disk; it only constructs a new operating system. If a disk is being used only on drives B through P and will never be the source of a bootstrap operation on drive A, the SYSGEN need not take place. 1-38
