Tanks for your help

I installed BIND 8.3.0 on my secondary an primary DNS server. When I start
the new named daemon on my primary I have the following error:

root at robo:/usr/sbin ( 92 ) >  cp -p in.named.8.3.0 in.named
root at robo:/usr/sbin ( 93 ) >  /usr/sbin/in.named &
[1] 9961
root at robo:/usr/sbin ( 94 ) > get_serial_unchecked(generali.ch): can't locate zone SOA

[1]    Abort                /usr/sbin/in.named (core dumped)

root at robo:/var/named ( 86 ) > adb core
core file = core -- program ``in.named'' on platform SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
SIGBUS: Bus Error

On my secondary DNS server all is running well.

Thanks for help.
