Greetings,

first let me thank the people who responded to my previous message with
suggestions about my TK50 problem. The ideas offered however did not seem to
solve the problem.

When I call the tape as tms(0,1) or tms(0,0,1) (which it is) I get a message
that device tms is not supported and a list of supported devices.

One more thing I noticed:

When the VAX gives it's boot prompt and I tell it to boot dua0 (the rd54),
it calls the disk and reports a failure to boot (figures). However when I
boot from the tk50 tape and I get the NBOOT prompt of netbsd and I tell it
to boot ra(0,1)netbsd (even though there is no such thing yet) it tells me
that I have used a wrong adapter number. It doesn't even call the hardware.
It looks kind of like the problem with the tk50 drive and the copy program.
As long as I remain within the VAX's ROM/BIOS system all is well, but when
the netbsd boot is in memory it seems all hardware support vanished. (except
edlabel, which sees the rd54 AND the partitions on it)

Any ideas?
