>Description:
Installing NetBSD 6.1 VAX in a simh instance emulating a Microvax 3900, the 
install procedure does not find any disk to install in. The simh instance was 
configured with two RA90 disks as RQ0 and RQ1, which _ara_ seen at boot time as 
ra0 and ra1, but for some reason the corresponding entries in /dev are not set 
up in the install environment.


>How-To-Repeat:
Just build a simh configuration with two (or one) MSCP disks and try to install.

>Fix:
No known fix. I installed 6.0.2 instead, which worked fine in the same simh 
configuration.
