Hi,
	This is off topic for NetBSD but is relative to DECstations...
I have an Ultrix 4.5 CD I want to install on to a 5k/250 that has the prom version that won't tftp netbsd..
I have connected up a sun/toshiba cdrom drive that came from a Sparc 5. 
This cdrom installs Ultrix 4.4 Vax fine.

When booting the 5k/240, ultrixboot and the
install process starts 
It fails with a scsi cam error when the list of installable devices comes up.
I suspect the reason for the failure is that the system sees the cd as an rz device not an RRD like a DEC cdrom and is switching (and failing)
from 512 bytes per block to the 1024 bytes per block used for hard disks.

As alternative to buying another cdrom dirve, can anyone recommend a way to dd the Ultrix cd to tape or anoterh hard disk and make that bootable?

Regards

Charles
