I'm almost there. I managed to install 2.1, but now even after installing 
multiple versions of the bootblocks, I can't get it to boot from "DKA200". 
The drive is a Fujitsu drive, and seems to work fine. I don't know if 
that's an issue.

I read some past posts to the lists (see "4000 VLC Disk Boot Problems", 
Dec 2002) and noted that there are also problems with the disk boot 
blocks. Okay then. I tried installing 'sdboot' from 1.5 onto /dev/sd0c and 
placed the 1.5 'boot' in the root partition. That still gives me the "83 
BOOT SYS" error when trying to boot from DKA200.

Am I missing something? I tried these 'installboot' commands:

installboot -v /dev/sd0c sdboot
installboot -v -t raw /dev/sd0c sdboot

I also tried the same using the 'xxboot' block, though I'm not sure what 
that block is for. It didn't work, either.

Any hints would be great.
