Greetings...
I know, this is my 3rd (or 4th, don't remember!) question always 'bout
the same problem! But I'm really in serious trouble!
I'm trying to install NetBSD over a DEC 5000/200...I've tried with 1.5
and only errors occured! Then, I'm trying with new 1.5.1_BETA but with
trouble again (yes, just a little different but...anyway!)
I'm installing it via TFTP/NFS and, after the sysconf step, it starts to
boot but (follow a "snapshot" of the messages on the console)

<snip>
Beginning Old-Style SCSI......
.
.
rz0 at asc0 drive 0 slave 0 DEC RZ56    DEC rev 0300 (SCSI-1)
.

boot device: rz0
root on rz0a dumps on rz0b
root file system type: ffs
/: bad dir ino 10752 at offset 0: mangled entry
panic: bad dir
Begin traceback...
SP 0x0: not in kernel

End traceback...
Syncing disk... done

dumping to dev 21,1 offset 551
dump 96 95.....<countdown to 1> succed

and then try to reboot...and again and again....

I'm sorry, but I really wanto to start this old machine with NetBSD to
begin a serious project, but with these problems I'm in a big trouble to
validate my idea (the boss is thinking I'm loosing my time!)
Please HELP ME!!!
TIA
