I'm trying to install SunOS 4.1.3 on a old sparc 1 that has been put
together with some spare parts. The disk I have is a Quantum ProDrive LPS
540. After successfuly labeling and formating the disk. The miniroot installs
in the b partition and boots. The install continues to copy files to the
disk and then requests a reboot. At this point the system tryies to boot 
but fails to even start with a "selected SCSI device is not responding"
error. When you go into the new monitor and do a scsi probe the disk
is there at scsi id 0. Does anyone know what might be wrong to prevent
the system from seeing the disk at boot of VMUNIX when it can boot
munix?

   Thanks Don.....
