There's no need to format the disk. Just dd boot.fs to the SCSI disk with
something like "dd if=boot.fs of=/dev/sdX bs=512", where X depends on
which device your SCSI disk is at. You should be able to boot the disk on
the VAX after that. If you have the options needed to read UFS
filesystems compiled in your linux kernel you should be able to mount the
disk and check that it's been written OK. Otherwise, just pop the disk
back in the VAX and try booting it with something like "BOOT DKA200"
depending on what SCSI ID the disk has.

Nope, rawrite only works with floppies.
