Hi!

I'm trying to install the pmax port to a dec3100. I got it without any 
HD. Since I don't have a Ultrix system at hand I thought using a i386 
NetBSD system would be the best solution labeling a new HD for the 3100. 

The problem is that it don't like the bootrz file, it replies "disklabel: 
Bootstrap doesn't leave room for disk label". Looking at it I discovered 
it was 7680 byte large compared to 6716 byte for other bootXX files). 

Therefore I wrote direct to the different partition with dd:

dd if=rzboot of=/dev/rsd1a seek=0 bs=512 
dd if=bootrz of=/dev/rsd1a seek=1 bs=512

These files takes 8192 bytes = 16 sectors.
Then I wrote miniroot to the disk:

dd if=miniroot of=/dev/rsd1a seek=16 bs=512

Booting it up with "boot -f rz(0,0,0)netbsd" I got the message:

Excptn:		<vtr=UTLBM>
Excptn pc:	0x0
Creg:		0x8<CE=0,EXC=RMISS>
Sreg:		0x30080000<CU1,CU0,CM,IPL=8>

Sp:		0xa0bfc000
  0xa0bfc000	: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0000000
     "    10
     "	  20
     "	  30		same value
     "    40
     "    50
exit(-1)


If someone have a clue I would be very thankful!
