>Description:
After having installed everything manually (since the installer does not work) I installed the bootloader on /dev/sd0 via disklabel -B sd0 (I tried installboot as well). But the bootloader does not work.


CONSOLE OUTPUT VAX:
===================
>>> boot dka0


-DKA0
?50 SCB2NDINT, DKA0
 85 RESTART SYS
 84 FAIL

 83 BOOT SYS
-DKA0
?50 SCB2NDINT, DKA0
 85 RESTART SYS
 84 FAIL

 83 BOOT SYS


(two weeks ago I installed OpenBSD on the same computer, which managed to boot from the same harddisk without any problems)
