Dear Net,

a problem again.

The situation: MicroVAX2 with 2MB and ULTRIX 1.1 and two
Fujitsu 300MB "mini-eagles".

I have configured the ULTRIX to properly handle the new drives
and I can merrily copy files and filesystems to and fro, mount
and dismount at leisure.

The problem arises when I want to boot the system from the new
eagles. The bootstrap produces some message like:

>>>B DUB3

dev ra: dev offlin
ra: open error

Needless to say the device is online, the discs are up,
the boot code was installed with mkfs, and a proper vmunix
is sitting in the root partition of the ra3 disc.

So what is happening ? The controller is an Emulex QD32 and
it is properly set up, as far as we can tell.

I'm getting fed up slowly: all the stuff that doesn't work is
the other-vendor stuff.

Sigh. Please help.
Love,
Seb
