Hi there!
I finally managed to install NetBSD on my VAX 3800 :-)
But now I have another problem:
When trying to boot off the Harddisk, I get the following error:
===============================================================================
/* Power on selftest here */
KA 655-B V5.3 VMB 2.7
(BOOT/R5:0 DUA0) /* Machine is configured to auto-boot off the Harddisk */
2..
-DUA0
1..0..
howto 0x0, bdev 0x11, booting...
31736 + 1040 + 22252 start 0x0
?06 HLT INST
PC = 2004005F
Restarting system software
Failure.
Loading system software
(BOOT/R5:0 DUA0)
/* looping until I give it a break... */
===============================================================================
What's wrong? Booting off the 1.1A Boottape and taking ra0a as the root-device
works without any problems.
I installed NetBSD on a RF-71 because my Emulex QD21 ESDI Controllers won't
work in this machine (both are working fine in a VAX-II/GPX, though).
Can someone help? Please reply also via eMail (My newsfeed isn't very reliable).
Thanks in advance.
Martin.
