Greetings
I'm sorry to borrow you with this problem again, but I'm spending a lot
of time trying to solve it and I'm exausted!
Well, I've a DECStation 5000/200 w/ fw KN02-AA ver 5.3t and no O.S. (it
was DEC Ultrix but I've already tried to install NetBSD w/ no success).
Following the installation manual, I've tried to install it via nfs
using bootp
this is the bootptab entry 'bout this ws
(hardware and ip addresses are "censored")

ds5000:\
        :ha=08002bxxxxxx:\
        :ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:\
        :td=/usr/users/diskless/NetBSD-1.5/tftpboot:\
        :bf=nfsnetbsd:\
        :tc=.default:\
        :bs=auto:\
        :sa=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:\
        :rp=/usr/users/diskless/NetBSD-1.5/netinstall:\
        :vm=rfc1048:

As you can see, the "install" kernel is nfsnetbsd.
And it's ok! It boots and starts the sysinst, located under "rp".
Sysinst runs completly w/ no errors, installs packages and so on...
I'm modified the Time Zone, rebooted and...
the boot stops just after the message
"root file system type: ffs"
Pressing CTRL-DO jump into the debugger:
"Stopped in init at cpu_Debugger+0x4"

Here is the cnfg output:
7 KN02-AA DEC v5.3t TCF0 (0220 cpu with 48 M RAM)
6 PMAD-AA DEC v5.3a TCF0 (enet: xxxxxxxxxxxx)
5 PMAZ-AA DEC v5.3d TCF0 (SCSI = 7)
1 PMAG-DA DEC v5.3b TCF0 (PXG -- D=8)

Any hint?
TIA
