This happened because the last time you started your system, you did a START
RECOVERY.  In that case, the system loads from BOOTUP instead of CONFIG to
ensure that the configuration doesn't change.  BOOTUP is created by the OS
from the last successful system start and cannot be modified.  You won't be
able to make configuration changes on the fly until after your next
NORECOVERY.

Subject: ERROR setting up network printer
Importance: High


I an trying to setup network printing for a client, and I get an error I
have never seen before after I had created the devices in ioconfig.  I was
logged on as MANAGER.SYS at the time this happened. The error is:

ioconfig:EXIT
        keeping to group BOOTUP.SYS
        Purge old configuration (yes/no)?Automatic yes
        **error** can't purge configuration file MISCP.BOOTUP.SYS
         SECURITY VIOLATION  (FSERR 93)
