Hi.

I equiped my VAXstation 2000 with the special SCSI bottproms patched at
the last German VAX geek meeting. This woks fine to the second stage
boot loader:
--- snipp ---
>>> b dka2


-DKA2

>> NetBSD/vax boot [Sep 22 2000 16:39:53] <<
>> Press any key to abort autoboot 0
open netbsd.vax: Unknown error: code 3149924
> boot netbsd
open netbsd: Unknown error: code 3149924
netbsd: boot failed: Unknown error: code 3149924

> boot gennetbsd

I puted a complete NetBSD base install on to the disk. If I load the
kernel via net with the "-a" flag I can direct it to mount sd0a as / and
this woks perfectly. /boot on the disk is from the 1.5-ALPHA2 branch. 

Does /boot need special enhancements to work with the VS2k?
I also tried the /boot that ragge created at the meeting but this also
does not work:
--- snipp ---
>>> b dka2


-DKA2

Please help me to get this machine booted from SCSI disk.
